Sepoy1857 - think a lot of people forget what a mix of cultures and religions were involved in the rebellion.  The interesting thing is that there was no consistency in terms of who revolted and who did not.  Mind you, Britain would almost certainly have lost India if it hadn't been for the Sikhs for example.

Indeed! I've based mine on Nicholson's Flying Column at the seige of Dehli. In reality an opportunity to combine my Piffers and Hill Tribes in one force  :D

Marine - I think they are Wargames Foundry from their Sikh Wars range.  Not sure whether they still make them.  Can't see them on their website - you could ring them and ask if they are available.

Sorry all, its been ages, so here is a big update:

Thought it was time for a bit of an update - mainly terrain items, but also a new paddle steamer:


A new shop selling fruit and rugs, like you do.


A little house.




Generic scratchbuilt boats, will probably use them for the French and Indian Wars too.  They are designed to take 5 soldiers.


But this is what I really wanted them for, a bridge of boats.


Generic wooden stockade, will use this for the French and Indian Wars too.













This is a Redoubt model. Its huge, but I reckon it will look great steaming up a river to extract civilians or landing a mix of RN and Gurkhas behind the rebel lines.

Thanks lads, there'll be an article on how to make the little boats in a future issue of Battlegames. 
I'm a little worried about getting the paddle steamer over to Crete, the paddle bit is a little fragile.

Love the boat Jon. Of note I just started to read the Alex Sheridan series of novels- 1st Crimea, then 4 books in the Mutiny. More political and less action oriented than others, but enjoyable.

Thanks Mike, not read them.  I've written a kids novel revolving around the Indian Mutiny - must try and find a publisher for it!
