The Sword and the Flame in North Africa.

 
Its several years since I visited the Sahara - in miniature of course ! so I got out my copy of TSATF  and set up a game for something a bit different.
 
 
It is a dawn raid on a Arab village by a French column comprising of 3 companies of Senegalese Tirailleurs and a Mountain Gun -facing them 2 Arab foot units and 3 mounted units (generated by a dice throw).
 
 
The French force advances in the early dawn .
 
 
They are ready for the attack !.
 
 
Help is on the way !
 
 
The Tirailleurs come under fire from the village .
 
 
The Mountain Gun moves up in support .
 
 
The French open fire !.
 
 
An event card is drawn - the fight hots up ! Too be continued ......

    And, in case you are unfamiliar with it, here is a link to Ian Croxall's FFL site with lots of good inspirational material for TSATF table top gaming in North Africa:
