Hi
I'm putting together some DBA style armies for wars in China.
Which French and British troops would be involved -sepoys, sailors, Zouaves, Highlanders???
Any links and info welcome.
I'm going with 28mm. Thanks |

Some info here: link To which you can add Fayne's and Probyn's units of Indian cavalry -irregulars and lance armed I think. There were British Heavy Dragoons too. A full list would be good to see. I've seen both haverlocks and bell shako's for the British regulars. |

@ mashrewba, Check the Nafziger orders of battle collection.
There are OB for many of the British columns in China. Cheers, |

There is mention of two infantry regiments and some chasseurs but I'm assuming there must have been more than that to make up a force of 7000.
Mind you if the French line regiments were fielding 3 battalions each that would be about right.
I'll use Zouves and Turcos anyway because thats what you do if you collect French 19th century armies :) |
