Letter From Jahaba Kahn to Umra Khan,  July 17 1890

Oh great and merciful Umru Khan, beholder of the one true and faithful text, purveyor of all before him, defender of women and children, let it be known that we have risen up against the hated English and their lackey allies. Join us as we honor the one true text and defeat the ferenghi. As you read this we are sieging the English fort in Chitral on the banks of the Chitral River. 

Mines are being dug and sangers built. We have cut off the infidels from their water supply. We shall take this fort in the name of Umra khan and the one true text. Death to the infidels and death to Mulehead Khan. So it is written, so it shall me done.  

 fortnight ago a jirga was held in the village of the Amir Ali Razah Kahn. He called for a jihad and many of the Chitrali chiefs attended. All were in agreement that we must join together to oust the ferenghi. However, Ali Razah is an old, weak, and feeble man. Though he is devout, and a true believer of the one true text, he will not be the future leader of my tribe!

Your faithful servant Jahaba Khan

  1. I've started experimenting on Discord with "Free Kriegspiel Revolution" games - map-based and run by a GM, with plenty of role-playing by the players. This would fit right into it.

    1. Nick, I always use TSATF, The Sword And The Flame for my colonial games. I've played many others, but these are the most fun for me personally. Thanks for checking out my blog.
