Seven Years war in India

[bong67]

Hi,
Is there any chance that some additions could be made to the Seven Years Warrange to cover the war in India.  What I'm proposing is not a new range as such but rather some new packs:
British Sepoys
French/Native Sepoys
Maharatta horse
Indian matchlock men
Indian warriors on foot

Of these proposals the Indain horse and foot could probably also be part of the proposed Indian muitiny range and other units like British and French regulars are already in the range.
All the best,
George

I've got two Moghal-era armies. Many of the figures are already available (barring sepoys, admittedly).

Add my votes, if they are not already there

Add mine to, though I think the vote for sepoys has already been done 

[YORSTONS]

You can add my vote please.

Think you will also need Rocketeers and suitable Indian artillery as well

[wargamesbob]

Foly Huck! Those are bonkers... I want some.

Totally bonkers

There is an admiral dude at the far left directing operations. Is the elephant there to push or is just in the background. There must be at least 10 oxen per wagon. The wagons look sideways on to normal wagons, do you think they have extra wheels in the middle or would this make them unsteerable?

Could see these make an appearance in Dogs of War army?

[clibinarium]

Is that set up one of those Victorian imaginings or does it have a basis in fact?
I can't imagine its possible to fire a cannon over the heads of oxen without them freaking out.

I'm sorry but with that set up they would've been lucky to hit the farmyard let alone the barn door.
Would've caused more damage stampeding the oxen at the enemy.

Mind you would be a nice little earner Leon probably would use the same amount of lead as an armoured division (each pulled by 40 to 50 yoke of oxen and an elephant).

[fred.]

That first link was a bit vague

Well that has to be one of the most insane things I've ever seen.  Or had requested!  I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard to scratch build though, we could supply the oxen and guns (although we'd need the crew), all someone would need to add is the 'stage' and a few sandbags, etc.
