When I was young I
read more times Salgari’s books … without consider the television series with a

with a fantastic soundtrack.

It was like being a
child again when I saw my club mates to create with MMWWBK one of this book/movie
scene.
My friends adapted an
old table we prepared for Viking’s raids
All miniatures are
28mm and painted in a superb way by my friend Marco G. … below some protagonists of the fight …
Sandokan
The commander of the Sarawak sepois ... the Evil James Brooke
And the beautiful
Marianna Guillonk … The Pearl of Labuan
My friends have decided
to play the English attack to the isle of Mompracem … Malaysia, the second half
of the 19th century, British forces lead by Lord James Brooke rule
in an oppressive way the Borneo dominions.
The brave Sandokan, a
young Indian prince, and his friend Yanez de Gomera are the only ones that are contrasting
the British forces. During one of their expedition, they captured Marianna
Guillonk, Lord Brooke’s daughter, and bring her to their base: the Isle of
Mompracem …
during her stay on the Isle Marianna falls in love for Sandokan but
his father doesn’t agree so he decides to invade the island.
During the attack, Sandokan
loses both Marianna and his base, but is able to escape and start his resistance
against the English anew … but this is another story … sorry another battle
