Hello, I am building forces for the Sikh wars using the Foundry range, they don't list any Indian cavalry in the range but I am pretty sure there was some at Aliwal at least, would the Indian light cavalry figures from the Mutiny range be ok ? Thanks in advance for any input. Dave |

Dave, There were Indian Regular and Irregular cavalry present at every battle of both Sikh Wars. In a pinch, either Afghan War or Indian Mutiny cavalry would fit the bill, since the uniform colors did not change during that period. Hope that helps, Andrew |

Thanks Andrew, just to be clear I am talking about Indian troops fighting against the Sikhs ? Can I field irregular cav and inf on the British side ? |

Don't know whether it helps but the Old Glory range is one of their better ones and I happily field the OG Indian cavalry alongside my Foundry figures. |

+1 Corto Maltese, excellent range. |

YES, except there was never any Irregular Indian infantry in the Indian Army (not per se at least), but Irregular Cavalry regiments were most certainly employed. |
