The basi bazooks turned back the Ansar leader in his quick move to seize the fort covering fire from their Sudanese unit

The Indian Sowars wreck revenge on the fanatics would dared to ambush from the rocks their discipline allowed them tho charge

The upshot of the initial game was devastating casualties for the Ansar and River Arabs but only one unit of the Relief force made it to the Fort.  We set up for a British attack on a dervish rocky ridge. The Egyptians and British advance, the Dervish using the rocky cover the Beja screaming out into the Guns of the British, this time the Egyptians suffer the bulk of the casualties but the Anglo Egyptians take the ridge.
