Vintage Britain's Regiments of All Nations: converged unit of Indian Lancers,  Egyptian Lancers and British Lancers.

One more day to go until we launch the grand toy soldiers in the Sudan game. The final rosters for the game look something like this:

Dervish infantry - 396 figures

Dervish camels - 28

Dervish horse.  - 70

Dervish Total.    - 474 figures

British & Allies   - 200 foot formed in two brigades of 100

Lancers.            -48 formed into four squadrons of 12 horse

And possibly a surprise appearance or two for the British.

The British have established a substantial base at Dongola and now that they have had a build up of forces, Major General Pettygree, commander of the River Column, has decided that it is time to implement the next phase of the campaign and seize the water wells at the Oasis of El-Dubie.

The Mahdi has dispatched his most trusted commander, the Khalifa, the organize an attack on the British base at Dongola and drive the unbelievers into the murky Nile River.

We will have 8 players in the game: 6 Dervish He-Devils and 2 British players ( Bill P. & Me).
