Here is a small unit of Afghan regular infantry. Before painting them, I studied the Ian Heath article from a 1995 Wargames Illustrated entitled "A Most Villainous Cavalcade", which can be found on the Mad Guru's Maiwand Day website. To be honest, these figures that I've painted are likely a bit more uniform in appearance than the actual Afghan soldiers of 1880, as the research indicates that there was little consistency in actual uniforms or equipment available.
The flag is the plain black flag of Afghanistan from the reign of Abdul Rahman Khan. It's probably incorrect but I've not found a better flag to use - suggestions welcome!
Hmmm, I'd better clean up the collar on that officer.
