Today I got one box of the new Hat Indian Colonials.
Probably they are made for NWF, but I want to know for what alternatives I could use them? Historical accuracy is not so important for me, but it should be from around 1850 to 1930. Suggestions are welcome. Thank you |

May have used Indian troops during the 1860's when they fought the Opium War. There was an all Indian Army Brigade guarding the left as the main army attacked along the Sweetwater canal and Tel-el-Kebir (sp) during the 1880's revolt of the Egyptian Army. Indian troops were used to attack the German colonials in East africa during WWI. |
