I've been researching the Russian Circasian Wars that lasted from the 1830s to the 1860s. It looks like a great source for gaming scenarios. The terrain is mountains plus forests. I plan to leverage my Crimean War Russians in 20mm. The only dedicated Circasian figures I could find are in 15mm and 54mm, I plan to use 1/72 Terek Cossacks who not only fought the Circasians but adopted their dress. I could find very little military history in English, hopefully someone out there in TMP can share some of their knowledge.
