Soldiers Of The Queen To The Rescue

The Imperial Heliograph reports from Darkest Africa where our brave chaps spread peace under the rule of Queen Victoria, the greatest monarch of our times….

Our latest venture into the Sands of the Sudan pitted the forces of the Madhi against the British relief force marching, at a camel’s pace, to the relief of a garrison of brave chaps under the command of Colonel Horn Pasha – a man who knows that a firm command of English and adherence to Queen’s Regulations will be a path towards Civilisation and Order.

See the majestic sands of upper Egypt as our lads march across a barren wasteland to save Horn Pasha and his Loyal Auxiliary troops.

Here they come!

Gaze in wonder as British squares cross the desert in a coordinated manner as if by some chess genius as Brigadier Davies crawls to the rescue.

Our intrepid reporters have followed the trail forged by men such as Caton Woodville and Melton Prior to bring you the pictures from the front you yearn for, dear Reader, and view the drama of colonial adventure at it’s finest.

Will civilisation and tea prevail, or will the darker souls of the Islamic revolt and coffee drinkers triumph and cast a shadow across the land?

Only members of Crawley Wargames Club will have the solution as they roll the dice to determine the fates of nations real and imaginary.
