Notes
If you are using this army
for Over the Hills... don't expect it to do what you want much of the time, it's
deffinately one of those Armies with a will of its own ! However, it can be great fun.
There are some wonderful figures available for the Moghuls now, both in 15mm and 25mm. An
incredibly colourful and impressive Army, but not too easy to handle.
