Hello everyone,
The conquest of Algeria by France was carried out in several distinct stages. There was thus during the pacification campaigns, the period of 1844-1857 which is very interesting, on the other hand in 20mm metal figurines (nor at any other scale ) there are no figurines for Berber fighters? |

I faced the same problem for my plans to game the French conquest of Morocco: no Berbers in 20mm. So I'm taking the Hollywood route and using generic "Arabs" and Bedouins. |

Consider checking out Medieval Berber conquest of Spain castings. Arms are swords and spears but those are also used in 1900s Algeria. |

I don't agree, the Middle Ages are too old… |
