FEARSOME OPPONENTS DOWN THE AGES...

The “Great Game” between Russia and Britain in the 19th century led to Afghanistan becoming a focal point of European interests. Little were British soldiers prepared for the ferocity and tenacity of these hardy mountain warriors.

This set includes warriors typical of the North-West Frontier during conflicts with the British from 1830s-1920s. Depending on weapon choices they would not be inappropriate from 1700 up to the present time.

This box set will give you enough parts to outfit 40 28mm infantry with weapons including pulwar and khyber swords, daggers, shields, muskets, jezails, and Martini-Henry rifles.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

  • Sculpting: Thieu Duong
  • Illustration: Peter Dennis
  • Figure Painting: Matthew Leahy and Andy Zeck (rest in peace Andy)

Amelia ★★★★★

The timeline layout is really helpful for seeing how different empires clashed in Afghanistan over the centuries. I've been able to spot patterns in the conflicts I never noticed before, and the print quality makes the maps and photos stand out clearly against the text.

Eli M. ★★★★★

The maps and timeline illustrations really help visualize the complex history of the Great Game. I found myself flipping back to reference them while reading about the British campaigns. A solid, engaging read for anyone curious about Afghanistan's strategic role.

Emma C. ★★★★★

The section on the 19th century Great Game finally made sense of why Afghanistan mattered so much to Britain and Russia, and I appreciated how it explains the terrain those soldiers were up against. Read it in two sittings.
