Blood On The Nile - Sudan Supplement

In the late nineteenth century, Muhammad Ahmad, proclaiming himself the Mahdi, led a powerful religious and political uprising against Egyptian rule in Sudan. His followers achieved a series of remarkable victories, destroying Egyptian armies and trapping General Gordon inside Khartoum.

The fall of Khartoum shocked the British Empire and transformed the conflict into a matter of imperial honour. Britain would eventually return to Sudan with a powerful expeditionary force determined to crush the Mahdist rebellion and restore imperial control.

This supplement for Black Powder allows players to command either the disciplined British army or the fierce Mahdist forces in battles fought across deserts, riverbanks and fortified settlements.

• Black Powder supplement covering the Mahdist Wars
• Historical background for the Sudan campaigns
• Army information for British and Mahdist forces
• Details of key commanders and units
• Historical battle and campaign scenarios
• Rules tailored to colonial desert warfare

The supplement highlights the dramatic contrast between modern British firepower and the massed charges of determined Mahdist warriors fighting with extraordinary courage and religious fervour.

From the siege of Khartoum to sweeping battles across the Sudanese desert, this book captures the atmosphere and spectacle of Victorian colonial warfare.

A copy of the Black Powder rulebook is required to use this supplement.
