We've been busy this spring. The latest release is five sets of Sikh infantry in shorts and turbans, designed for the 8th Army in North Africa.
The 4th and 5th Infantry Indian Army Divisions fought in East Africa against the Italian Army, in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia against both the Italian and German Armies, and, after the Italian surrender, against the German Army in Italy.
There are a total of seven sets, including an Indian jemadar, NCOs, and two Bren gun teams.
In addition to the Sikhs, we've "re-capped" the Spanish Foreign Legion in their distinctive Isabellino caps with their "fly-whisk" tassels. These figures were originally designed for the Rif War in the 1920s, but could as well be used in the Spanish Civil War.
Askari Miniatures are 25mm foot-to-eye. Prices vary by pack – see the Askari Miniatures website for details.
