Pashtun Jezailchi Riflemen, 1839–1902

Recensione dei Figurini Ral Partha in Scala 1:64

The Pathans are semi-nomadic pushtu-speaking peoples consisting of more than 60 tribes, numbering 10 million in the North-West-Frontier Province of Pakistan e 6 million in Afghanistan. The Pathans, also known as Pashtuns, Pushtuns, Pakhtuns, e Pakhtoons, have a reputation as fierce fighters. Punitive expeditions britannici in the late XIX secolo ed early XX secolo failed to subdue the Pathans who were eventually granted the North-West-Frontier Province as a semi-autonomous homeland. The Ral Partha 1:64 scale Pathan Jezailchi Riflemen shown here are wearing traditional angarka tunics, o long sherwani coats con poshteen fur coats, baggy trousers, turbans, skull caps, leather belts over a traditional kamarband, e sandals. They are armed con Khyber knives e long muzzle-loading rifles knows as Jezails.

Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject, Pathan tribesmen like these can be used for a period of sixty years of campaigning on the Northwest Frontier. The Pathans are wearing traditional dress which is worn virtually unchanged until our times.
• The due firing poses are most suitable for wargames, where tiratori scelti Pathan are typically seen firing from rocky ledges, fortified rooftops, ed improvised firing positions known as sangars. The traditional Pathan dress worn by these soldatini may be painted in a variety of natural colours to conveniently disquise the fact that there are just due soldatini poses in the set.
• The soldatini’s long muzzle-loading Jezail rifles are of the proper length which gave these sniping weapons excellent range ed accuracy. Jezails take some time to reload, providing the attackers britannici con some respite from fuoco nemico.
• Good casting quality, practically no flash. Ral Parta colonial soldatini are a joy to paint e collect.
• Compatibile con other 25 mm 1:64 scale soldatini e some of the taller 30 mm 1:60 scale soldatini now available from many manufacturers.

Ral Partha Pathans are excellent soldatini suitable for skirmish wargames of the Northwest Frontier Wars, using The Sword e the Flame (TSATF) ed other popular rule sets. A handful of these tiratori scelti are enough to keep fanteria units britannici e Indian busy while other Pathan tribesmen attempt to close into melee e put their Khyber knives to good use.
