Badger Games: Pontoonier has released the first wave of miniatures in a range of figures to cover the first forays of Italy into East Africa in the 1880s. Theses cover the irregular infantry of the Kingdom of Ethiopia. While designed for the 1880s and 1890s and taken from period photographs and illustrated newspapers, these figures have a far wider reach. Many of the melee armed figures will work for Ethiopian armies from the late Medieval period through the Renaissance. Add in the firearms and these figures will work for the 18th Century, Victorian Era and even through the Second World War.
In the Victorian Era alone, Ethiopia fought wars against Britain, Italy, Ottoman Turkey, Ethiopian Warlords, Egypt, Zanzibar, Somali Tribes, Belgians and even two wars with the Madhi of the Sudan. This provides a wealth of campaigns and “what-ifs” for gamers. The initial release has eight packs with four variants per pack providing all of the variety and completeness customers have come to expect from Pontonier Miniatures. Pontoonier plans to greatly expand this range with scores of additional figures to be released in 2025! Watch this space. Pontoonier Miniatures are distributed exclusively by Badger Games.
