Greetings All!

I'm on a quest to find something similar to the Colonial Campaign series books that would provide a few scenarios to use for the Afghan War. I have yet to stumble onto anything of use. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ask around. Sergeants 3--on whom be peace--published a thick set of one-sheet scenarios for TSATF, and if I remember correctly Afghanistan got its share.

yeah, Robert, I'm still kicking myself for not getting that TSATF scenario book years ago.

Disaster, thanks for the scoop on the books from Partizan. I saw the scenarios on the Vault, and I may just download those and see what we have.

Google Maiwand. Treat Afghan regulars as equivalent to TSATF Egyptians, if that's what you're playing. Same if you're playing 800 Fighting Englishmen.

Jon Sutherland has just produced a very comprehensive series of scenario books for India, including plenty vs the Afghans. Available at Caliver Books. You may have to search under 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen'. I am finding them to be extremely useful.
