The company appears to concentrate on this conflict and makes a range of products, including Rules in Spanish and English.

they are nice..months ago there was also another post about Barakka miniatures..it would be interesting also to guess about their compability with other brands...but nice minis indeed...between 1898 and Barakka miniatures it seem that, at least, we have quite a few Berber/arab types to choice among, even for pre WW1 fights Vs French.. The choice of weapons given to their castings, by both 1898 Miniatures and those nice Barakka Riffians seem well researched (Muskets, BL Rifles and some few swords) ..unfortunatly my favourite rule systhem TSATF, including derived and published historical scenarios , comprises full Arab/Berber units armed with spears ..which is totally wrong.

Miniatures are full of detail and are well cast with the odd mold lines to clean.
I dont have any mounted figures yet either from Barakka or 1898 miniatures but i intend on buying a few and when i do i will post some comparative photos.
If any of you wish comparative photos with other brands let me know and i will see what i can do.
