Is there any record of the British army using Hales rocket platforms during the 2nd Afghan War? |

None that I'm aware of, sadly. I hope I'm wrong and someone can post info on their use during the war, so I can start including them in my army lists for the campaign! I have seen a period photo of Hale Rockets in use against Afridi Tribesmen, I think during the 1897 Frontier Uprising, with a note saying, "by all accounts the Afridis treated them with contempt." |
