Battle of Tikit Oasis: A TMWWBK Battle Report

A Battle Report of a solo game of The Men Who Would be Kings. This is a fictional encounter between the Foreign Legion and Berbers somewhere in Algeria c 1900-1905 using the 'Take the High Road' scenario. The Legion has sent out a company of men to deal with a small oasis which they suspect is being used as a base by Berber raiders. Whether that is true or not will only be discovered after the shooting stops. 


I took a few pictures while playing the game and thought I would share them below.

Warning: SPOILER ALERT 😁


The Berber positions are all being treated as soft cover (you'll have to watch the video to find out why) but nonetheless they look well dug in and prepared for the attack.

If you haven't seen the video yet...look away now. 


The French Foreign Legion storm the walls of the oasis buildings and force their way inside.

  1. Great looking game. I really liked the Zulu games using the rules, do you have the changes you made for Rorkes Drift in a document you would be willing to share. Thanks. John

  3. Super looking table and a story well-told. I think a French victory was never in doubt.
