Indian mutiny Sepoys

[jems]

Hi all. I was looking for Indian mutiny look a likes to start some forces. I was wondering if anyone had looked at the Ghurkha's in the Northwest range to use as sepoys ?

It's curious that the Sudan and the Zulu war get so much of the colonial gaming action, while the far more important stuff in India is virtually ignored. I'm guilty in this regard myself, but then I am an African, so I can pretend I've got an excuse.
Glad someone's doing a bit to redress the imbalance.

You are right Kitty, India does seem to get lost in with all the other colonial wars, it is an interesting period, one I have thought about doing but it sits on the "maybe some day"

Welcome, my friend, to the show that never ends.... to misquote Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

It could be for 1 of 2 reasons :-

a) most of the Indain stuff was fought by native troops

b) Fighting in India was almost continuous, whereas in Sudan and Natal it was of comparatively short duration.

Course it could be due to "Zulu" and "Khartoum"

That last bit is most likely the cause. We'd better be glad it's not Lt Alfie defending Rorke's Drift, or Moses parting the Nile to drown the Mahdi!
