I know, I know, it is the big what if but I have begun to read up on the conflict and I am intrigued. However, it was the uninvited arrival of a Russian Mission in Kabul and the refusal by Amir Sher Ali Khan to accept a similar British mission that was the precursor for the conflict. Basically I feel Ali Khan was screwed no matter what. Still, it is possible the Russians might have opted to make a show of force. So which manufactures would have Russians in the proper uniform and other kit such a possible guns and cavalry in 28mm? I like the Copplestone Castings figures that are for the Russian Revolution inter war period but I figure those a bit late in style and equipment. |

You have to check out Askari Miniatures link They have a complete line of Russian Colonial figures in 28mm, including a free painting guide! Plus, they are a great company to do business with. |

Outpost Wargames Services do Russo-Turkish War figures which are suitable , and compatible with Eureka and Askari. Just noticed, that's the range that Badger Games distributes in the USA |
