TSATF – Sudan 1884 Replay

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Sudan game using The Sword and the Flame colonial rules (20th Anniversary Edition). The scenario was called the Battle of El Sisi Landing, November 13, 1884. This was a replay of an earlier game with some force and layout changes.

Order of battle and objectives: battle-of-el-sisi-landing-v2a

HMS Teapot

Ansar dhows

The gap between the river and land tables is for access only and does not increase the range.

The Ansar fort which is the main objective of the British attack.

The battle on the river proceeds independently.

British infantry advance into their rifle range but remain outside Ansar range.

A shot from a dhow blows up HMS Teapot. As with all naval documentaries, a photo of Barham is used.

The Ansar right wing fall back from the British fire.

Mass melees.

The Sudanese infantry falls back.

The Ansar fail to close and lose a chance to destroy a pinned Sudanese unit.

The lines at games end.

When the game ended, the British were in a strong position away from the river, but far from taking the objective fort. The Ansar were ahead on victory points. The early loss of HMS Teapot made the game an uphill battle for the British, but they fought well to the end in spite of that.
