About the game
One of the slickest, yet riskiest, campaigns of the entire period, Egypt was a "gateway" that pitted the best of Victoria's Battalions/ Regiments against the Egyptian Army of Arabi Pasha, only to lead on to involvement in the Sudan. The often under rated Egyptian Army had brave soldiers and excellent Engineers, and made for the most nearly equal foe that Tommy met until Johnny Boer came along! —description from the publisher
