We're not just being polite, they're very nice figures! Plus big collections covering a particular period or theater are always splendid.

I also wanted to compliment you on the nice photography. You've arranged them quite nicely.

Very nice indeed. I especially like the 1920s troops on the NWF. I think this is a period that has been overlooked for far too long.

Ya is true, also because gave great opportunities of small battle-skirmish level games.
it involve many different kind of troops from British rgt, to Indian Army, airplanes, trucks, armoured Rolls Royce and so on.
if interested there are lot of books dealing on such era from Naval and Military press, about the third Afghan war, operations in Waziristan , Zakka Khel and Mohmands operations.
the books worth effort because they are now at cheap prices, some years ago was impossible to find them, or you should paid hundreds of Pounds for one.

this is a list of Books dealing on NWF in the 1920 and later:

-The third Afghan war 1919;

-Operations in Waziristan 1919-1920;

-NW Frontier of India 1920-1935;

-NW Frontier of India 1936-37 .

All above compiled by the General Staff Army Headquarters India


- The Frontier Scouts by Charles Chenevix-Trench
probably the best book about ,covering from the 1900 to the last days of the Raj.

-Frontier and Overseas Expeditions from India in 7 volumes, choose the one of interest.

these are some really old shots,
3 are of a great battle , using 1:300th H&R , table of a great friends of mine living in Nottinghamshire.

the other is of a refight of the battle of Adua , still in 1:300th scale.
the battle was refought without lights, too better simulate the real start of the battle.
