I think that the rules look quite quick, so we will probably manage a couple of games

I now have a new set- "Sands of Sudan", essentially the Pete Gilder Wargames Holiday Centre rules. They look to be a better proposition- similar to Pony wars. Imperial forces are 12 figure companies or squadrons (2 6 figure troops), guns up to 3 per battery. Mahdists are 8-10 for infantry and 5 for cavalry, individual guns.
