Third Afghan War
« on: 14 June 2012, 07:47:31 PM »
Does anyone have any pictorial sources for this conflict, particularly for the afghan side.  I have the Foundry small war books, and Robson's 'Crisis on the Frontier', but I could do with a lot more visual sources.  FYI, I'm planning a new range of figures, so we will all benefit.

Thanks in advance

Steve

Add another to the pre-order list.

Botou os ingleses na roda

Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

A new range you say?  :D

"The Savage Border, the story of the North-West Frontier" by Jules Steward has a good bit about the various tribes (Wazirs, Mohmands, Afridis...) and their allegiances.
