Magdala to Mafeking V.2.2 18 May 2026 the Definitive Colonial Ruleset
From the rugged peaks of Abyssinia to the desperate, dusty defences of the Second Boer War, the Victorian era was defined by a "Thin Khaki Line" stretching across the globe.
We are incredibly happy to release "Magdala to Mafeking," a brand-new 5 Page ruleset by the legendary veteran wargamer Andy Callan. Andy needs no introduction to the hobby, and his design philosophy shines here: these rules are fast, intuitive, and prioritise the "feel" of colonial warfare over complex bookkeeping.
Whether you are a seasoned commander or a fresh recruit to the period, this set is designed to get your PaperBoys or any Miniature onto the table and into the action in record time.
