The design intentions here become rapidly apparent.
The Anglo-Egyptians, at least to my way of thinking, are going to have to hug the Nile to get as far as they can to the South before the Mahdists arrive in strength. This allows them the prospect of constructing the zariba -- which, depending on what HL does -- really should not be a good idea of the Mahdists choose to wait the A-E's out. After all, there's no way the A-E's win this unless they can make their way into Omdurman a good distance to the South and West of where the zariba can be built. The key bit, again I think, is going to be keeping the A-E's together and avoid having them swarmed by ululating lunatics.
