This would not help you at all... perhaps... maybe something to ponder on... as a gamer and collector of minis (particularly on the Colonial period) I use puffs of smoke (cotton wool) or even chips and dice.... INSTEAD of the actual opposition... I love my colonials (99% of them are Baccus) but do not own a single Zulu-Dervish-FuzzyWuzzy-Afghan-Ghazi-Boxer-Chiense-Vietmin-Arab-Touareg.Dahomey-Madagascar-Cochinchina-Mexican-Indian (native americans)-you name it!... I do not have lost love for them: It cost me time and money and are too obnoxius in quantity... I had them in my 25MM wargaming days... NO MORE... considere calmly. Cheers.  I almost forgot... even riff-raff like the Natal Native Contingent both mounted and on Foot (that Ol' Good Peter DOES!)  which I do not love at all are only "markers" on the wargames table... (running away markers of course!)...  Also on the other hand I have NO Russian Army for the Crimea... and I do wargame Balaklava... (With Baccus Proxies)... You need all sorts...                            

PS: I have BOTH sides for the ACW though... this method of mine only applies to Colonial warfare or wargaming (and NO I am not a white supremacist!... LOL... a white man nevertheless...)

I am looking.  I think for this scale anything that did not have a shield would work.  Like Gauls, Goths, Egyptians, pretty much anything in clothes with spears just need to find somethng without a shield.   Civillians of anybody really.
