I just gave up and allowed the seduction to take it's coarse!

Yes the Basotho on horseback is loading the musket by spitting the ball down the Barrel. The British infantry can be used to fight the Xhosa as this regiment the 43rd were involved in the Cape Frontier wars. Mike Snook has stated that they will be casting Xhosa as well as Basotho for this range.

Thanks for the info. Very informative.

Seems to me like a good way to lose all your front teeth if your horse stumbles on a rock or a Cape Cobra slithers out from under a bush.

If spitting the ball down the barrel of the musket is good enough for Messrs Sharpe and Harper its good enough for me... though I never saw the afore mentioned gentleman trying to do it on horseback.

I feel like that miniature needs to be converted to carry one of these

I imagine they will mix pretty well with Perrys Cape Wars range too, I am already feeling myself sliding towards this cliff edge!

I think it is set a little later, but I found 'Harry Smith's Last Throw' an interesting read.
