25mm Figures for The Abyssinian War of 1868
 All foot figures are sold in
Packs of 25 Infantry, including an appropriate Leader figure. As 50 figures is the full strength of each Unit in the game,
two bags equal one Unit.
Figure bags represent Lower and Upper Class Warriors, with the appropriate
weapons mixes and types provided. The proportion of 2 Lower Class Units to one Upper Class makes a basic command of a "Tribe."
Additional Units of Lower and Upper Class Warriors may be part of a larger Tribe, but the proportions remain the same.
It is possible to field as many as four Lower Class Units and still have a single Upper Class Unit in the same
Tribe. Players may, of course, field as many Tribes as they wish.
The Royal Bodyguards (of which only the two Units would ever be required) are also provided in bags of 25, with
their specific weapons in the correct mix. To represent the Negus on the table, a pair of Tribal Command packs,
painted with more silver and gold, etc, to emphasize their rank, can represent The Great Man himself, his "staff" and
retainers.
More figures types are in the works to help give the Abyssinians their full flavor, and increase the
means of representing their unique approach to warfare between each other, their Muslim neighbors, and even the
Khalifa of the Mahdi himself!

Uniform Plates
The following illustrations are copyright by their respective owners, but are readily available for view on the Internet.
As an extra service, they appear below to help painters new to the Ethiopians see how their figures may be finished for
authenticity and best effect on the table top.
Ethiopian Music
For those who appreciate hearing the sounds of their Native Armies, here is a Link to a recording
available from Amazon, and which may be bought on CD or downloaded in whole or part as individual music files. TVAG does not
profit in any way from this listing or any sales, except by way of helping Colonial War Gamers to experience more fun with their
games. Listen while painting your figures, or play in the background during a game, but music adds the "Third Dimension" to
your appreciation of peoples and history.
