What is Science vs Pluck
Subtitled: or, Too Much for the Mahdi.
Unusual set of umpired miniatures rules depicting late 19th Century Colonial Campaigns in Africa.
In essence, the referee plays the part of the Mahdists while each player takes the part of an individual officer commanding part of a British force in the Sudan. This is done to simulate the asymmetrical nature of Colonial fighting in that region: the British often had an overwhelming advantage in firepower but were travelling through unknown territory and facing enemies of unknown number.
