Yep, without the Jewel in the Crown we'd have been hard pressed to set up and run the National Health Service or change our national dish from the despicable boiled beef and carrots.

We gave away 13 costly colonies and gained enough of India to bank roll 200 years of empire. I call that a win for GB!  :P

A very interesting way of looking at it ;)

I need to read more about some more 'Indian' history  :-\

The Indians don't consider it a win however. We were fairly awful to them...

I almost forgot, I do Korean War 1950-53 in 20 mm also!   

I have a bunch of 20mm Napoleonics - whose figures do you use for Korea?

Obviously they thought it was a good deal though, as lots of them did

D guy, I have a ton of the plastic Imex figures, Chinese, North Koreans and u.s. Troops for Korea . My vehicles are air fix, revell, s & s models, and many others.  Korea is special to me cause my dad fought there. From Inchon till the armistice.  Rm65.
