Wellingtons Indian Battles
A range of high quality 25mm figures to refight the exciting period of the Mysore and Mahratta wars, circa 1797-1805. Led by the future Duke of Wellington, small armies of British and sepoy troops fought against the vast and colourful hordes of the Indian princes to add huge tracts of territory to the British domains in India and lay the foundations of the future Empire. British infantry wear for the most part the lightweight red coat or long sleeve waistcoat and round hat issued to troops on foreign service in hot countries and so may be used for battles in the Cape, Egypt, the West Indies and other similar locations.
