Played my first game of Death in the Dark Continent for a year this weekend. Myself and Mark M commanded the Beja against Ian and Rob with a British-Egyptian force.  The scenario saw the British-Egyptian force discovering Beja scouts, giving chase and being engaged by a numerous enemy detachment. The British corralled their baggage in secure position behind the Gordons and Egyptians as their Bazingers discouraged their counterparts and then launched devastating attacks from an area of high grass.

As the main Beja force emerged, they swung round to isolate the Sudanese - having to guard the right flank from a handful of warriors - from the main battle.  The chief led the mass of warriors against the Scots, attempting to hold them in place and penetrate their lines.
