At last – the sea! Our fleet should be nearby. Somewhere
just over the horizon, we should be able to see their sails. And then just a
hop, skip and a jump to be homeward bound.
Here’s a signpost: “To the ships!”
“Come on chaps, follow me!”
And here’s the beach. More sand. Sand! Nemesis of chain
mail, arch enemy of plate. But today - a harbinger of happiness. Where are the ships, though?
“Roll up! Roll up! Real ships of the desert! Fifty pence a ride.”
Of course. Obviously. Should’ve known. Camels! And not a
hint of real ships.
“Oh Lady Sarah! Where
art thou? We need your balloon to get away from the coast – er – to the coast.”

These two camels represent the “ambulances” used by the French
in Egypt, The models made by the Perrys, of course.
I think prone figures score half points, so the three
figures in these cambulance baskets (one is empty) would score 7.5 points, plus 5 for each
camel: Total: 17.5 points
(No bonus for location, as this is my second visit here.)

Nicely done Noel. I am constantly amazed at how complete the Perry Brothers can be when they tackle a setting...camel ambulances? I hope our pudding-brained Mayor never gets sight of this, as he would immediately declare it to be "innovation"...
I tossed in an extra half point to round things up because decimals harm souls.
