Title: Dutch Colonial gaming and KNIL background?
Post by: axabrax on December 03, 2016, 03:44:21 PM: Tiger miniatures is rereleasing their "East of Java" range, and, although I am still warming up to the figures, I am interested in learning more about the conflict. From a quick Google search, I presume these figures are for the Aceh War? Anyone steer me toward some books or websites with more info?

I will do some more digging on the Web and post whatever I can find for posterity. At the very least I'd need to dig up some painting references!

This helped me a great deal when I painted up my knil force. I'll try to take some photos of what I have later

I love this photo
