Hi Jaymis, welcome to the forum!

Of course, if you are getting into historical gaming, I urge upon you the merits of focusing on post-1792. Others will urge the contrary. Allow me to refer you to this thread:

I agree on the post-1792 suggestion but alas Pendraken do not make figures suitable for the campaigns of Hammurabi's* Babylonians :(  However they do make some excellent Later Roman Empire figures you might like to consider or perhaps some Greek hoplites if you're a fan of 300?

Oh, wait ... did Chris mean 1792 AD? Trust me, nothing of interest, militarily, happened after that date ;)

:d :d :d

Except the Anglo-Zanzibar War. That's a really interesting conflict to recreate. The Pendraken Forum Display Team should demo that as their next show game. Plenty of scope for action.

Personally I'm gutted you forgot the 1810-13 Anglo-Swedish War.
Battles fought 0.
Soldiers killed 0.
Sailors killed 0.
Civilians killed by their own side 30 (by Swedish cavalry against rioting mob)

Can't find a reference to it now, of course, but when I was in San Marino many years ago we were shown a memorial to the forces of San Marino who took part in one of the struggles between Italy and Austria in which they not only suffered no casualties but, due to recruiting some Austrian deserters into the  force, actually returned home with more men than they started with!

My sort of army :)
