What period is the Pontoonier stuff? That is coming back on line soon...

[Shipka]

The Pontoonier minis designed for The Third Anglo Burmese War, not suitable for earlier campaigns unless they expand range and irregulars Re produced

[Shipka]

Well 1 Burmese tribal spearmen, 1 Royal Guard with musket and bayonet, 1 levy Spearman,1 regular match!ockman and a levy Musket man have been commissioned as a start

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

Sounds good! 

Will there be camp followers to portray a unit on the march? Per the illo in the Foundry book?

Some nations had a sort of "highland" guard IIRC? Don't recall the details...

Warhammer Colonial is a very versatile set that served us well locally for a good many years. Price was good at $0. 

In the USA, no doubt The Sword and the Flame will be used.
