Another rabbit hole of obscurity. Well, they do love to please themselves with projects they fancy... I guess they’ve earned the right  ::) :)

While this is interesting and I may buy some for skirmish games I do wish they would concentrate on filling the gaps in their existing ranges - where are:-

French pre 1812 light infantry
The earlier Portuguese
Danish light infantry with muskets

To name just three!

The figures they show look great.
Never know what they will do next.

Outstanding! South American conflicts don't get enough of a look-in in our hobby often, hopefully will be a comprehensive range.

Oh my. I can see doing a bunch for Rebels & Patriots. Paraguayans in canoes trying to board a river monitor...
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Interesting and unexpected. They counted the danish-Prussian-1860-70 as too special, but now this. But the figures are great...

Not that obscure for those with an interest in conflicts not involving Americans or the English. (I'd argue it has the same level of importance for the local inhabitants as say the American Civil War or the War of the Roses.)

Obscure would be a range for the Anglo-Zanzibar War. lol

I’m sure it’s not obscure as a period of history for the local inhabitants. But as a wargames genre, it’s obscure. But maybe there’s a huge untapped South American wargames market.
Like I say, the Perrys are well known for occasionally delving in backwaters of historical or imaginary conflicts that they find interesting, but aren’t necessarily commercial. Fair play, if it makes them happy.
I could see a market for figures portraying the Anglo-Zanzibar War, short as it was.
Luckily, they don’t need to worry about the market :)
Good luck to them.

Its was a major conflict with extremely deadly consequences.  Well worth paying attention to.  Perhaps it will not be so "obscure" if more people learn about it.

As obscure as it may be, I find it rather intriguing.

I'm still interested in doing latter-day horse-and-musket, and even though I would prefer the Russian conquest of central Asia (e.g. Flashman at the Charge) or 1848 in the German states, this is something that does tickle my fancy.

I'm going to apologise to Captain Blood, I have read the post now from the Perry's Facebook page, where they also use the term "obscure". I thought that was you being self-righteous, when you were just repeating the post. So, apologies.

As someone with an interest in Brazilian conflicts (due to my partner being Brazilian), I am looking forward to this range (and the Hooker’s/Foundry is a lovely book on the subject).
