Which is your favorite Colonial war during the Victorian period to game on the tabletop? |
| Col Durnford | 28 Jul 2016 11:30 a.m. PST |
Zulu followed by early war Sudan |
| Kevin C | 28 Jul 2016 11:38 a.m. PST |
I have a four way tie for #1: Boxer Rebellion, Sudan and North West Frontier (I know that one is actually more than one war -- but people get the idea), and the first and second Sikh wars (again I know it is more than one). The runners up for me are the Boar War (the last one) and the Anglo Zulu War (the one in the 1870s). |

This is a candidate for a "top five" poll. Maori Wars would make my list.
Indian Mutiny. And how about the Indian Wars in America? |

The runners up for me are the Boar War Thanks for cheering me up with the thought of Pig wars! I actually like the Zulu War and 2nd Afghan war. |
| stephen phillip | 28 Jul 2016 12:15 p.m. PST |
All of them but top 5 would be maori wars, sudan , zulu, 2nd afghan and cape wars |

All of the Northwest Frontier wars can be considered one long campaign. |
 McKinstry | 28 Jul 2016 12:32 p.m. PST |
Boxer. Incredible variety of soldiers, sailors, marines, cavalry and native levies for virtually all of the Western Colonial powers (including Japan) plus wide variety of their opponents including Boxers, two very differently uniformed Chinese armies, Tigermen, Kansu Braves et al. A painters delight! |
| WillieB | 28 Jul 2016 12:33 p.m. PST |
Indian Mutiny is the only colonial 'period' I play, and that is largely due to the fantastic miniatures available now. I consider Napoleon in Egypt as colonial too but it's definitely not Victorian. Those Cape War and Maori war figures are very interesting but I know way too little about those wars. Some of the figures end up being drafted in India though  |
| 15th Hussar | 28 Jul 2016 12:33 p.m. PST |
Sikh Wars Followed closely by any NWF Campaign from 1838-1947 and Dahomey 1890-94 |
John Leahy  | 28 Jul 2016 12:39 p.m. PST |
Plain's Indian Wars, Zulu, Sudan, Boxer Rebellion and Afghan are all pretty close to a tie for me. |
| Winston Smith | 28 Jul 2016 12:42 p.m. PST |
Are the Yanks or Italians allowed to play?
Or the Frenchirs and Hun? |
| Rhysius Cambrensis | 28 Jul 2016 12:56 p.m. PST |
Anglo-Sikh wars. One of the most serious threats ever faced by the British Empire. |
| Lt Col Pedant | 28 Jul 2016 12:56 p.m. PST |
First Boer/Transvaal War: the actions around Pretoria. Very game-able. |
| stephen phillip | 28 Jul 2016 1:00 p.m. PST |
Colonial warfare in the Victorian period would include the other superpowers of the time period ie Belgan and Germany in Africa and France in North Africa etc. Any european country that had overseas interest and colonies. Indian plain wars? Not really a colonial conflict although still an interesting historical period of the era |
