Just before the lockdown we had the first largish game with my Sikh Wars collection. Full report and pictures on the blog.

We need more Sikh Wars games like this one   :)

Incidentally, who does the Sikh irregular guns ? They look rather nice and I wouldn't mind picking up a couple when things return to normal. The crews are Foundry but I don't think I recognise the ordnance itself.

Interesting battle, very well covered by plenty nice pictures and a full AAR!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the positive comments guys, really appreciated.

Arthur one of the Guns is by Indus miniatures with the Tiger barrel mouth, the other squater one I cant remember but I will check. I do have another Tiger mouthed one which is nice by Victoirous miniatures from their Taiping/Boxer range, although my chum Chris who bought it has ruined it for me by pointing out the Tiger looks more like Tintins dog snowie!

The squater of the two guns is from Redoubt and billed as a large decorated Spanish gun.
