Indian Mutiny

[Paul Davies]

Another voice from the wilderness, or at least from 'the jewel in the crown'. Any chance of an Indian Mutiny range? There are quite a few figures in the Pacific War range that could be a very good starting point and I'm sure that with a bit of ingenuity a good range could be created by adapting existing figures.

We did start a few figures a while back, but then got diverted onto Naps and ACW's, so they got left by the wayside.  Once we're past the WW1 and Nap Brits, we'll look at going back and completing the range.

Ah but is it the Indian Mutiny or the Indian War of Independence?

[HPFlashman]

Idian Mutiny....

The Indian War of Independence, I usually call the plains war...

So is there still a chance of an Indian Mutiny line seeing the light of day?

Definitely one day, we're still working through the WW1 and Nap Brits mentioned above though.  We've got the first few sculpts already done and here in the drawer, so we'll send the designer back to finish off the range once we've got a gap in the sculpting schedule.

They were troops in an army which mutinied. My ancestors were into global conquest and slavery . I'm not , so I don't feel guilty about it. If you're Indian, or indeed an Indian, your ancestors were crap at fighting off colonialism . Get over it, it was a long time ago.

Genuine question, 'cos I'm not a student of Victoria's Wars, but did "India" as a single entity exist before the British, or was the subcontinent balkanised?

Look up Clive of India...

Glad to hear that the range will see the light of day!

And gentleman, let's not get into a political debate, and instead get back to playing with toy soldiers!

What's the one quotation from Clausewitz that everyone knows?

War is a continuation of politics by other means - as is perhaps this forum.

Who ?......I'll go and look him up.

I'm afraid you're all wrong. The correct answer was "It's on the top shelf, behind the almonds, dear."
