Wars in Deserts, Mountains and the Veldt!

Queen Victoria reigned for almost a century, during which her armies fought many battles to expand and defend her empire across nearly 20 percent of the globe. Most of these "little" wars pitted small armies of exceptionally well-armed British and allied troops (from such far-ranging locales as India and Egypt) against much larger forces fighting with inferior armaments. A pattern emerged in which initial, small Anglo/Allied forces were wiped out, only to be "avenged" by larger forces at a later date, with the resulting victory adding another jewel to Queen Victoria's crown.

This master set offers a selection of 156 British, Scottish and Egyptian infantry and cavalry, plus British Artillerymen with Camel-Mounted Field Guns, fighting 214 Afghan, Zulu and Sudanese infantry and cavalry (a total of 370 figures), plus a wide selection of period and location-appropriate accessories.
