Yes, I'm talking about the Indian Mutiny, or the Sepoy Rebellion or the the First War for Indian Independence. I've posted these photos on several other sites, so my apologies if you've seen them already. I recently played a Sword and the Flame (TSATF) Indian Mutiny game using one of the scenarios out of the Colonial Conflicts scenario book published by On Military Matters. The book uses the half size unit option for TSATF which fit perfectly with my 54mm collection of figures. I was impressed with how well balanced the Battle of Fatehpur turned out. Most Indian Mutiny games I've played in the past have been a walk over for the British, but this time the mutineers not only put up a good fight, they actually won the game! The figures are a mix of the W Britain Victoria Cross collection, as well as figures by Marlborough Star, Wm Hocker, British Bulldog and Tradition of London. It was a fun challenge putting my collection together. My friend and opponent Alan took the photos. He likes to say his camera loves 54mm!

Cool figures, they seem more individual than smaller scales.
