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, particularly if you don't mind losing. Place these guys in defensive positions and hope that they don't get over-enthusiastic.  There are some wonderful figures available for these Hindu Armies now, both in 15mm and 25mm. An incredibly colourful and impressive Army, even if prone to defeat..
