Mounted Basotho Set IV. 'Later Basotho.' (6 riders and horses)
In this set we've provided a group of warriors, two thirds of them in traditional straw hats, that would more particularly suit Moshoeshoe's wars with the Orange Free State in the 1850s and 1860s. They could also be used for the Gun War of 1880, albeit they are still armed with the same 'roer' flintlocks with which they fought the British, local boere and other tribes in the days of the Orange River Sovereignty, i.e. up to 1853. There is no reason, accordingly, why they could not be used to represent warriors from the earlier period equally as well. To generate a good sized mounted army you would wish to mix your purchases across our several codes, by increasing the proportion of men in hats and European style clothing the later the year you are aiming for. Such an approach will obviously govern the overall 'look' of your army; a more traditionally African look earlier, with a bit more European style clobber around later. This set enables you to better target your shopping according to need. See also OR 9 'The Griquas'....[and others].
