OK, the title is (very) self explanatory….

In a bid to use my British Redcoats in a new theatre or war……

Which miniatures would I be best advised to use for the natives of South Africa?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xhosa_Wars

Any help in this regard would be gratefully received.

Cheers,
Darrell.

1st Corps as mentioned, and if you can get them, Cannon Fodder. If you get the 1st Corps figures, see if they have the special figure the Cape War Yahoo group had made several years ago.

Which special figure is that?

Sent ya a PM a few days back, madmick…hope you received it.

The Xhosa do look a hell of a lot like Zulu's….

Are there any differences that I should be aware of assuming I'm going to double up my Brits in South Africa in the Cape Wars as well as fighting the Zulu Kingdon?

Darrell.
