England versus the World!

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 incredible collection contains a selection of 352 British, Scottish, Boer and Egyptian infantry and cavalry, plus British Artillerymen with Camel-Mounted Field Guns and a Gatling Gun, fighting 503 Afghan, Zulu and Sudanese infantry and cavalry (a total of 855 figures), plus a huge wide selection of period and location-appropriate accessories.
This set contains many of the most expensive sets in the hobby, which are not usually discounted. But in this instance, we are including them to make the collection much more comprehensive.
