Randy with Arabs, an oasis, palm trees and MBA buildings. Chuck readied his new Dervishes, provided the Nile, two dhows, reddish rocky terrain identified as ancient ruins and the most amazing palm trees ever seen. Keith provided some of the celebrated Sudan collection of Peter Gilder.<br />---<br />The Main Camp provided artillery support fire ror Jim's Scots plus an Egyptian battalion. It not get very far and did not do well at all. We rated the latter as poor for fire. As a result, they performed so, umm, poorly, they withdrew back behind the zariba. <br />---<br />Three of the four Dervish commands, well, 2.5 of them went at Jim. A very hard rain over in the redoubt. Still the Scots did well and if not for a unlucky run of dice throws, just might have thrown back a large portion of the initial first wave attack. <br />---<br />Elsewhere there was a supply column also coming in which needed guarding lest it would be lost.<br />---<br />In front of the Main Camp, the Imperials caused the fourth flag of the foe to retire behind cover and out of sight.<br />---<br />Had there been time, the foe would have massed for a terrible assault on the Main Camp. Impossible to predict the outcome but there was a lot of firepower there especially after the battalion guarding the supply column arrived.<br />---<br />Cheerio,<br />BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-48771660595527270612010-06-20T10:30:06.124-05:002010-06-20T10:30:06.124-05:00We used Bill Protz's BAR variant for colonial ...We used Bill Protz's BAR variant for colonial wargaming.
