I know that Black Tree Design has Boers and so does Old Glory. Who else makes 28mm Boers for the Second Boer War? |

Empress miniatures has Boers in their Zulu wars range. |

Cerdic, thanks for that link. I have bookmarked it. And thanks to everyone else, I have forgotten that Empress and North Star and Foundry have Boers. Right now I am considering a third colonial era conflict to collect, paint and run games using The Men Who Would Be Kings. Right now I have an abundant number of Darkest Africa figures for general Explorers vs Natives and Slavers or German East Africa conflicts with the Ngoni. I am working on my Plains Wars collection at the moment but once that is done I have been casting my eye to other conflicts of the colonial period. I just find this one of the most fun areas to miniature war game and admit I am probably going overboard. So, much like most war game miniature enthusiasts I know. The conflicts I have been looking and studying up on are as follows: The Second Boer War (Or perhaps just the First Boer War) Second Anglo-Afghanistan War And then the ubiquitous Sudan and all that entails. I have also looked at Empresses impressive line for the Third Anglo-Afghanistan War although that is a bit past the intent of TMWWBK rules. Although I have always been interested in finding a conflict where I could run inter-war games and the Third Anglo-Afgan presents some interesting possibilities. And folks have been modifying TMWWBK to work in later periods for WW I and inter-war. Still, the Boer Wars present a non-typical "native" force in the way the Boers fought. |

I will have to add I am also looking at the French Foreign Legion, i.e., Beau Geste thing. Yet, another fun period to miniature wargame for the colonial era. |
