Due to my ongoing mobility problems I was unable to the to ‘The Other Partizan’ last weekend. Luckily for me, my old friend and fellow blogger David Crook did go … and was able to take some photographs of the League of Gentlemen Anti Alchemists’ anti-slavery game.
I understand that the driving force behind the game was Chris Hardman, who – along with Eric’s son William, David Crook, Neil Fox, and myself – took part in Eric Knowles’ Madasahatta Campaign, and it was great to see that he used it as a setting for this wargame.

The Royal Navy action against the slavers took place forty years before the Madasahatta Campaign took place, and featured some typical Knowlesian characters:
Royal Navy Landing Force
- Major Boote-Necke (Royal Marines)
- Sergeant Wilson (Royal Marines)
- Captain Povey (Royal Navy)
- Lieutenant Phillips (Royal Navy)
- CPO Pertwee (Royal Navy)
- Lieutenant Strange-Wayze (Royal Marine Artilery)
- Major Bloodnok (Zanzibarian Army)
Zanzibarian Slavers
- Mustafa Leikh
- Shufti Khush
- Ali Oop

- Bungdit Dhin
