The sample of H&R pathans has come in, and they are really too small to be compatible. Got some mountain artillery on mules from them as well, and those mules are crazy big compared to the men, so they might actually be usefull!

I guess that means the mahdists will have to stand in for the Pathan tribesmen.

But what about Afghan regular army? Does anyone have any suggestions for them? The lambskin hats are the biggest problem...
