Martin Smith has a report of his latest PORTABLE WARGAME battle on the PORTABLE WARGAME Facebook page.
He used an encounter battle between an Egyptian force and some Mahdists in the Sudan to introduce the rules to another new player.
It is worth noting that he used Alan Saunders’ English Civil War dice driven activation and random event system, and that it produced some interesting results.

Thanks for sharing Martin's portable wargame - a nice little game. I've reconfigured my table so hoping to get some Sudan figures on the table shortly. Cheers Greg
ReplyDeleteDelta Coy (Greg),
DeleteI must admit that Martin’s battle report - along with today’s blog post by Archduke Piccolo - has made me think about taking a short diversion back into nineteenth century colonial wargaming ... and I might well do so when I’ve finished my current mini-campaign.
I look forward to reading your battle report in due course.
All the best,
Bob
Nice looking game Bob - I'm guessing these are 15mm figures that Martin Smith is using (?)
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteI think that most of them are 15mm-scale figures manufactured by Essex Miniatures.
All the best,
Bob
