Possibly Dirk. What we call polystyrene is the soft white stuff with big granules, used for packaging electrical and other goods, and for ceiling tiles.
Then there are much denser grades of pink, blue, and orange styrene foam used for insulation, building projects, and often for modelling.

It looks an attractive game,

What were the units? No. of figures?

Hi,

here is some information on the table and the game.

This game was presented at Tactica 4 years ago. The table size was
1,20 m x 1,80 m.

It could be played as a 2, 3 or 4 players game.

1 Force British ( Gurkhas, Sikhs, Highlander )
1 Force British Hunting for a legendary Bear ( Hunters, Charakters, Pack Train )

1 large Force of Pathans could be played by two or either one player. ( Swordmen, Riflemen )

ah yes....and the Bear !

All players had different mission objectives.

British Capture the Pathan Leader
Hunting Party - Shoot the Bear
Pathans - capture the outpost capture or kill the hunting party.

There were event cards for the game. You could play these cards on your own troops or against your opponent.

I placed objective markers with hidden encounters.

The rocky area was build with the material mentioned in the previous post.

Nowadays I would construct the mountain area  a bit different. It is glued on the table but I think it is smarter to make a removable mountain area made of several pieces.

Hope that has helped a bit.

Cheers
Björn

Ok, now it is clear for me:
German        English
Styropur       Polystyrene
Styrodur       styrene foam (in green, blue, pink, Orange never seen here)

Helps for understanding some instructions.

Thanks for the game info Driscoles
How many figures did you use in the various units?

Thats funny, I cant recall exactly. I used larger close combat units and smaller long ranged armed units for the Pathans
The British units were usually at full strength according to the rules of the Colonial supplement ( up to 12 ).
But I think today I would use more but smaller units it would make a more dynamic game for a convention.
