Here are some photos of a Sudan War The Men Who Would Be Kings game we played about two years ago at the club. The figures are all from Rick's Sudan War collection. The scenario was a British attack on a Mahdist village. The Mahdists advanced impetuously out of the village to meet the British forces. They managed to destroy the British Camel Corps but suffered heavy casualties. In the end the British were in a position to capture the village, with the remaining Mahdists pinned or too weakened to resist.
