Defend the Landing
We played two games of Sharp Practice: Go Sharp into the Desert over the past few days both razor thing Mahdi wins. Both games were similar with the British defending a village along the Nile waiting for a steamship to come and pick them up while the vanguard of the Mahdist forces try to overwhelm them.

Two Groups of Two Regulars, One Group of Sailors and a Gattling Gun vs Seven Mobs, Two Skirmishing Groups and some Camels
The Sailors managed to get into position just in time to be thrown back down the streets while the Regulars took to the rooftops and formed a skirmish line to counter the Mahdi flankers.
While they lost a lot of men including the Officer being wounded twice they took very little shock so managed to retreat in good order luring the Mahdists down the alley
At this point it's best to just find a nice place to hide.
Twice the Gattling Gun fired with all Twelve Dice and both times hit with Ten. Kind of hard to miss with a Gatling Gun at this range and with such a nice corridor.
The Regulars on the Flank formed up just in time and although they took massive casualties including a leader knocked unconscious they managed to just hold on.
Both sides had a single point of Force Moral left when a random event meant my British ran out of the houses and got hit in the rear, losing the Force Commander and a lot of guys which ended the game.
