African Napoleonics

[Lagartija Mike]

Inspired by Westfalia’s beautiful (if a little static) Qajarite Persians (who doesn’t love lambskin duncecaps!) I’m thinking about alternative Napoleonics. A campaign based on a hypothetical invasion of Abyssinia by the Khedivate of Egypt looks like colorful, gory fun. Especially if I tweak reality just enough to allow the Khedivate an ahistorical mix of embittered mamlûks, volatile Albanians, disciplined Sudanese ghilman, stolid cud-chewing fellaheen and mercenary Maghribi backwash.
