Announcing our latest supplement for Black Powder – Blood on the Nile
charts the Mahdist revolt in the Sudan, the long march of the British
to relieve the besiged city of Khartoum, and the campaign to reconquer
the country.
The Mahdi had emerged from the wilderness to lead a rebellion against
the Egyptian government in Sudan. His armies overwhelmed the Egyptians
and trapped Governor Gordon in Khartoum. The British launched a relief
expedition, but it arrived too late. Such an insult to the Empire could
not go unpunished, and the British returned to crush the Mahdists. Sudan
then came under British Imperial control, but, like shifting sands,
history could have turned out very differently.
Using this Black Powder supplement, you can take charge of the
British army fighting in the desert, or assume command of the Mahdi’s
forces in their struggle against the world’s greatest military power.
Along the way, learn about the battles and campaigns of the Mahdist
Wars, and the soldiers who served in them.

El Teb and was eventually killed at the Battle of Abu Klea:
