One of these days, I might get my lazy self up and work up an River War/Omdurman series of fights. Maybe the boom holds and the mines work, now what for the allied forces deprived of a few of their gun boats. What if the shore forces have a few better guns to train on the boats? Maybe then a march onto Cairo, maybe they get support from a European power.CoastConFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250561260148656254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-71286115763304896902013-02-28T21:11:03.591+00:002013-02-28T21:11:03.591+00:00For the inter war period I think there is a better...For the inter war period I think there is a better range of figures available in 20mm, look at earlywar miniatures for example.<br />Nigel Druryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635742503102210394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-67849156718023252572013-02-28T21:05:40.002+00:002013-02-28T21:05:40.002+00:00Those sound good and look like reasonable goals.
