Hello! Been on the lookout lately for camp and built-up area ideas for my 15mm DBA Classical Indian army, representing Porus or Mauryan India in the north-west. I haven't been able to turn up very much, except that Magister Militum has one lonely 'Indian-style' house. Anyone have any idea where to begin to look to find out what the camps/dwellings would have looked like in this region? Any book recommendations for the period in general, too? |

Ah hah, thanks for the leads. Something like the bamboo village should be doable! |

Make sure to include poisoned prostitutes to send into the enemy camp to infect their generals, colourful birds in potted trees, holy men and more holy men, teams of men shrouding elephants in dark cloth in preparation for a night attack. David F Brown |
