Had a 1919 North West Frontier clash with the Men Who Would Be Kings on Thursday, interesting game and opportunity to get under used figures on table. Write up and Pictures on the blog. https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/…/the-men-who-would-be-kings-p…

The rules aren't really designed for post 1900, but you seem to have made them work.
Triumph & Tragedy would probably work even better for your period, to be honest. I've only played them once several years ago doing between the wars Italians vs Abysinnians, and they worked brilliantly for that, which isn't that dissimilar to 1919 3rd Afghan War.

Thanksfor that, I actually have a copy of those somewhere I havenever used so maybe worth a go.

I can recommend Triumph and Tragedy too - it's what I'll use when I eventually get some opposition for my Brits.

[Rogerc]

Cheers JArgo, I will give it a go and see how we get on.

I gotta say, while it's not hard to tell that those are the extruded (white bubble) foam from looking at them, they look good enough that I don't care!  I think you've achieved a very nice balance with those.  And the game looks like it was a lot of fun! 

[Rogerc]

Cheers Hupp and at em. These belong to Chris who organised the game, I remember using them twenty years ago, they need a bit of repairing now to be honest but still give a nice effect and of course very cheap.

Sweet looking game.
Looks like it was alot of fun.

Cheers it certainly was, on with painting more Afghansnow although a few Sepoys for Sikh Wars slipped in too.
