And a parade. We could hold a parade of all the armies that have won all the wars, everywhere, all the time. Big wars. The biggest. The Best. Ever.

Henry, if it helps I have about 6-700 zulus and 150 Mahdists. I know it's wrong continent and wrong century, but I'm more than happy to bring them along if you want a colonial style punch up in an exotic location. With Tim's and others we might be able to assemble a fairly large imaginary indigenous uprising

Gary, you mentioned that in your message to me and I’m thinking that would be fun. I already have some ideas about how that could work.

Okay, could you send me some more details about precisely what you’ve got? Are they formed into units, or just masses of bases of them? Maybe a quick pic of some of them? Email me at henry@henryhyde.co.uk

If you played in Trumpia you could have battalions of lawyers - farsands of 'em along with a unit of scantily clad ladies :o

You must have a few hundred without firearms?
They'd be fine, all the tribes originating from the Nguni in the early C17th seem to dress much the same into the late C19th.

And if they are, we'll simply ban them from travelling to Ayton.

Most are without firearms. One figure per stand with a notional weapon, normally a musket of some kind. I'm sure we can ignore the occasional anachronistic Martini Henry. All the Mahdist warband types are devoid of firearms
