The thing is, I really want the Zulu war look, it's how I picture them in my head and the homeland troops just don't hit the same spot.

So I'm just going to go with the flimsiest of excuses and paint the figures I want instead of the ones that would be historically accurate.

I had the same idea of using Bitish regulars in EotD, I would love to see how yours come out. In a normal game (100 shillings I think) you can have 3 blokes with rifles and both a President plus his vice which is not bad... I plan on using a mixture of Home service (redoubt) and overseas with the 'overseas' in their Khaki colours, haven been recalled from Africa

Also, could be soldiers diverted from mustering or off transport bound away from the homeland.

Covered transport and special instructions (in game) to keep them from sight of the locals, before the lads are shipped off (to the Northwest Territory, to the Sudan, to wherever you wish) from whence one can expect them to never return.

Or does that not make sense in EotD?

This is a game with vampires, werewolves and steampunk elements. Historical accuracy is not the point my friend. :) Have fun with your choices.
