WB to do War Along the Nile Series (2 Viewers)

[chalklands]

W Britain and John Jenkins Sudan figure compatibility

Matte JJD vs WB

Fraser Highlander (JJD) and 24th Foot (WB)

If WB makes the Sudan in matte and the same size as the matte Zulu range they should work together.

I didn't realise that they were so compatible scale wise.
If JJD does the siege of Khartoum and WB does the relief column that would be great! I expect they'll meet up two days later!....

Then....On to Omdurman (13 years later!!!)

War Along the Nile....mmm....so which will it be...Tel-el-Kebir...Khartoum...Omdurman...???? Redcoats in one, camels and gunboats in the other two and even young Winston in one...and lets not forget the Naval Brigade, straw hats, Maxim's, Gardner's and all...there's just too much good stuff, can't decide...let's just forget it - ha ha!

People still ask me, what happens when you run out of soldiers, battles and ideas? Don't know about you but I don't think that will ever happen.

I would start with Tel-El-Kebir: Black Watch, the Guards, Naval Brigade, gatling guns, Royal Marines, Post Office Rifles, Royal Artillery, 13th Bengal Lancers, Egyptian army-very colorful campaign to initiate the series!

That sounds like a plan could do with more Black Watch figures from that era!
