Looks a really fun game and much impressed by your mountainous terrain - simple but really effective!

Made do a mental double take.  Didn't realize the BILA went that far back.  Whose figures are you using?

Thanks

The terrain is normally used for 28mm games but looks really effective in 10mm - built by someone on this forum but I don't know his sign-in

I've used the same figure for the Legion & the BILA - Voltigeur Marching from https://pendraken.co.uk/19th-century/europe/1859-frenchitalian-war/

They were at the Siege of Constantine in 1837 - whether as "the second light infantry regiment" or as the sappers of "2d and 3d African battalions"

Lieutenant-Colonel Lamoriciere commanded the first storming-party, consisting of three hundred Zuaves, two choice companies of the second light infantry regiment, and forty sappers. The second party, headed by the brave Colonel Combes, was composed of detachments of sappers of the 47th regiment of the line, of the Foreign Legion, and of the 2d and 3d African battalions. The third column had been formed of detachments designated by the lot, in equal numbers, from all the four brigades :. it was placed under the command of Colonel Corbin.

I love the terrain. These hills and broken ground are fantastic. The Arab tents also are beautiful.
