Maybe the boat is trying to go downstream towards Egypt, but has to stop at one of the cataracts so as to drag it over the rapids by horsepower or manpower. The Dervish are approaching, but a relief column of British are marching towards the cataract for support. I probably need a better backstory than that, but the point is to get the boat model into the game.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-42332483465263024792016-06-06T07:42:13.091-05:002016-06-06T07:42:13.091-05:00Nice additions to your collection.

I was once given 24 or 30-figure Britains Grenadier Guards (?) band by my uncle, who lived for most o the 1970s outside London in the U.K. Sadly, they were mostly plastic by that point but I loved them just the same. They were lost at some point during one of my family's moves with a bunch of other boxes of our things. Sigh. But your burgeoning collection looks terrific, Jim. I hope you and Bill might take/share some photographs of the upcoming game.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-1655265409329162632016-06-05T11:25:54.668-05:002016-06-05T11:25:54.668-05:00Well done Jim!
