Ace in the Holes for Mahdist Forces:

Poisoned Wells - enemy troops are dehydrated.  Immediately count 2 VD as lost

Camel Caravan - enemy army is burdened with a camel caravan or camp.  A caravan base must be of rectangular shape and with each side being no more than 6H and not less than 2H. Baggage can be interpenetrated only by friendly troops.. It is fortified inside a zareba thorn barricade  that counts all the usual rules for fortifications.  A Baggage base has a VBU=1, I=0 VD=0,  counts as VD=3 if lost.

look good. Just a suggestion, place "rifled" as a note at the end of Rifled Artillery stats (it is obvious, but easier to pick up). Same maybe for a Gatling eg

Gatling 1xArt VBU=1, I=0, VD=1, Art B, Machine Gun
