Ultimately I wanted players on both sides so I wrote Battles for Empire -- a second edition is about to be released. Still have my collection of Dervishes based on those lovely huge stands. Thanks again.<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016026243594377089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-66526760187715171152013-02-19T20:27:50.719+00:002013-02-19T20:27:50.719+00:00I started colonial gaming with Gilder's handwr...I started colonial gaming with Gilder's handwritten set based on Pony Wars. Lots of fun. Ultimately I wanted a more complete set that had players on both sides. I wrote Battles for Empire. A second edition is about to be released. I retained Gilder's basing for my own collection and still love the look. Thanks for posting the Sudan reports.<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016026243594377089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-68525075310052349622011-10-11T18:53:45.078+00:002011-10-11T18:53:45.078+00:00Always enjoy your Sudan game reports.
