The Burman guv us Irrawaddy chills, - And a Zulu impi dished us up in style." --Kipling, "Fuzzy-Wuzzy"

Native Figures

Where would colonial gaming be without the natives, those unsung heroes who are willing to charge repeating rifles and quickfiring artillery with nothing but cold steel and personal courage? Originally, the Ouargistan group played mostly battles of Europeans against natives, but gradually this evolved into European against European, each with native allies.
