Khartoum Fort


My Khartoum Fort with my Egyptian counter soldiers manning the walls. Could easily use for miniatures too but the counters are easier for now, especially set up and clean up. The fort is obviously not on the hex map I posted awhile back since I just finished it. Little fort Omdurman is in the background and a couple of the steamers are on the left toward the back. The Egyptian reserves are in the center of the fort. I have the leader counters finished but forgot to put them in the picture.

More Khartoum





Here are some more Khartoum game pieces and a revised map. I print out the boats at 1" x 2". The British and Egyptians are potential reinforcements, 2 groups, some on some steamers and the camel troops and mg by land. The Dervish are some camel troops I added. I expanded the map some to include Fort Omdurman and give a little more strategy and options for the game. The Dervish army will now likely try to capture Fort Omdurman first so it can bring some artillery (likely the Krupps) to bear to keep back the steamers and bring up their ships to land in the rear of Khartoum!
