It's good as a starting scenario. Just moving forward and assaulting the Arab forts. It can be a little tricky if the player attacks without any care for his askaris, but that's it.It was nice to use Zanzibar as the enemy.

Very fun battle. The player must buy some cheap askari units, and then march through the mountains and the jungle until he reaches the Mahdist base. Along the way there are multiple attacks from enemy tribes and mad Sudanese, and the Belgian column will suffer a lot of damage. The player will have to be very careful if he doesn't want to risk losing some core units.
I played the scenario twice. The first time I advanced so fast that I found some teleporting Mahdists in Bedden, and I won the scenario four turns before the BV limit. I lost a couple of askaris along the way (144 pps. Painful, but still not a tragedy).
I was ready to recommend an adjustment of the turn limits, but then I played again, just in case. This time I tried to avoid any unnecessary losses, and it was a completely different experience. I didn't lose any units (although some of them were pretty damaged when the scenario ended), but this time I had a last turn BV. I didn't find any strange moving enemies, either.
So, overall, seeing what happened on my second run, I think that the scenario is well balanced. I wouldn't change anything. It's a great colonial battle, and I think that I'll miss those offensives in the jungle when the Great War starts.
