WELLINGTON IN INDIA
FROM REDOUBT


Wellington's India Battles range was released this spring. Only the most ardent Napoleonics players are aware of the fighting in India from 1797-1805. The Mysore and Mahratta Wars tied down thousands of British troops and sailors. The mix of variety of troops on both sides makes for colorful battles in exotic places. The Courier received several of these figures for review. They are large with the average at 32M Barrett Measure. These are excellent figures well animated and historically detailed. The most interesting of the lot was the native irregular advancing with rockets (IN118). The infantryman advancing (IN11) was also very nice. The Highland officer (IN19) the Sergeant with pike (IN4), the Indian Prince (IN100) and the Arab mercenary (IN125) were all satisfactory. This is an excellent period for skirmish battles or full-size pitched ones. A campaign in India would liven up any club's gaming nights. These are available from Miniature Service Center, 1525 Bridge #163, Yuba City, Ca. 95993, (916)-673-5169 for $1.50 for foot. -JIM BIRDSEYE
