Nice.  But when you do the opponents, will they be properly chained to their work (literally) and lined up hub to hub?  (T'aint yet been to the blogy thing.)

[Rogerc]

Ill be doing batterys of three guns so they will be lined up hub to hub but probably not chained together as it restricts what I can do with the guns.

Love your figures.
The Sikh Wars were an interesting period.
Great for war games.
Two pretty equal armies.
Lots of color.

Cheers, the more I read the more I realise how many irregulars both sides used in the second Sikh War. Reading Amarpal Singhs history which is really good, three full on battles and a seige and the British have only involved in one so far, the main battles still to come. First battle has over 20,000 troops and just one British officer who ws only a Leiutenant.

Must get more irregulars.

Champion! Don't know too much about the Sikh Wars beyond a couple of books I've read, but Flashman and the Mountain of Light was always one of my favourite Flashy books. I've seen the Koh-i-Noor at the Tower of London and I was planning to steal it in a gigantic caper, but like many of my projects that came to nothing.

Like most Flashman books Plynkes they are very, vbery accurate. I knew a fair bit about the first war, the second one is in many ways more interesting as the mix of troop types is more varied with lots more irregulars and allies involved for both sides.
