Natal Native Contingent and the British Line Infantry Regiment have been recently re-boxed for Black Power!
British Line Infantry Regiment: $25.50
A casual look at Tommy Atkins of the Victorian period gave little away about his fighting abilities. Standing 5´5″ on average, and often shorter, he may or may not be able to read or write. This appearance was deceptive, however. The average British redcoat was the most dangerous animal in Africa, equipped as he was with the Martini-Henry breech-loading rifle which he was capable of firing 15 times a minute out to 1200 yards range in volley fire if needs be.
His legendary discipline, his marching ability ´enough to traverse all manner of terrain´ and his determination to fight his enemies, which were legion, all made the British redcoat an implacable foe.
Well led, well-equipped and thoroughly trained in his abilities, he blazed a trail for Empire all over the world. Cheerful and confident the redcoats of the County Regiments served their sovereign well, smashing their enemy with concentrated rifle fire and, if necessary, selling their lives dearly behind the thrust of their wicked long bayonets.
Our Redcoats represent any British unit of the Anglo-Zulu War.
Contains:
- Enough plastic components to make 24 British Infantry with Martini Henry Rifles.
- A detailed Booklet containing the history and Black Powder profile of the British Line infantry.
Natal Native Contingent Regiment: $29.00
Largely being used as support for the Main British forces in South Africa they became the main defense force against the Zulu forces. Recruited from the local populace, mainly from the Basuto and Mponso tribes, this force excelled in dealing with Zulu due to an extensive history of fighting them.
Given mainly menial labouring jobs they eventually saw action on the front with varying results, some fighting hard and to the last man alongside their British comrades, whilst others they broke alongside the NCO’s. In either case, even if they fight today or tomorrow, they will certainly fight to the last.
Providing support for the British army these loyal chaps are just the job whether you’re looking to refight Isandlwana, Ulundi, or the other battles during 1879.
Contains:
- Enough plastic components to make 32 Natal Native Contingent.
- A detailed Booklet containing the history and Black Powder profile of the Natal Native Contingent.
