(D6s produce less predictable results) to reflect the following features of the Sudanese Campaign:
• British and Egyptian firepower could destroy Mahdist attacks if they got enough warning;
• British and Egyptian forces moved slowly but surely about the battlefield;
• British and Egyptian forces might be beaten in close combat by the sheer ferocity of the Mahdist
attack;
• Mahdist forces has less predictable firepower than the British and Egyptians;
• Mahdist forces moved in a less formal and therefore more rapid manner on the battlefield than the
British and Egyptians.
