Sudan Mini Campaign, January 1885 -
Rescue Gordon!
SMG & HMGS-South are embarking
on a 3 game colonial Sudan Mini Campaign to Rescue Gordon! We will
be using the Sword And The Flame rules set in 28mm scale. The games
will be played out over an entire day at the upcoming HMGS-South's
Hurricon-2016 in Orlando Florida. Check the website for details.
In addition there will be at
least of (3) other colonial games being run using The Sword And The Flame
(TSATF) or The Sword In Africa (TSIA).
So come join us in the burning sands of the Sudan or the sweltering jungles of
Africa!!!!
(Rules: The Sword In Africa)
Tax Collector: The local tribe has not paid this year’s taxes. Time to collect!
Friday Morning: The Temple
(Rules: The Sword In Africa)
The Temple: Europeans have desecrated the sacred ancient temple and are camped there. They must be Destroyed…….
The action in the Sudan starts Friday night with the first
clash of the arms in this 17 year struggle against the Mahdist uprising.
(Rules: The Sword And The Flame)
An expedition is being
formed for the capture of a very dangerous fugitive who is calling himself the
prophet, the expected one, the Mahdi. He has already refused to come to
Khartoum as directed and has declared a holy war against the Khedive of the
Egyptian govt. Two platoons of troops will be sent to Aba Island by steamer to
hunt down and capture or kill this criminal. Whichever officer captures this
criminal, promotion is theirs! The other will face a fate worse than death, a
small command in the outer reaches of the southern Soudan!
Saturday Morning: Full speed to Metemmeh! The Sudan, January 1885
(Rules: The Sword And The Flame)
The Egyptian Gunboat
flotilla have been ordered to Metemmeh. This section of the river is
dangerously defended by Dervish guns and roving war bands along both
shorelines. The mission is to steam up to Metemmeh to join up with the
Desert Column who are on the attack. As one of the Gunboat Captains you
will navigate your boat through the shallows, directing gunfire and taking fire
from captured Egyptian guns and dervish rifles. Beware, Jones Pasha might be
present in a converted steamer ready to engage you.
(Rules: The Sword And The Flame)
This is the second of
the Sudan Saturday Campaign: An advance force of the Camel Corps is readying an
attack on Metemmeh in order to rendezvous with Egyptian Gunboats that will take
them to Khartoum. Local Dervish forces are determined to stop them. Command the
gunboats, Camel Corps, or Dervish forces as they clash at Metemmeh.
(Rules: The Sword And The Flame)
Game three of the Sudan Saturday Trilogy. Bowing to public pressure the
British Government has raised an army to relieve the city of Khartoum and its
popular figurehead, “Chinese Gordon”. Can the relieving forces of the
combined Nile River Gunboat Flotilla and the vaunted Camel Corps reach the city
in time? Here is your chance to rewrite history….
