History:
Afghanistan has long been known as a fiercely independent region, where local tribes have resisted foreign domination through centuries of warfare. From the First Anglo-Afghan War in 1839 to the British retreats and later Russian interests in the region, Afghan warriors were renowned for their resilience, sharpshooting skills, and mastery of difficult terrain. Their traditional weapons, including long-barrelled jezail rifles, were used with deadly accuracy in mountain ambushes and guerrilla-style tactics. Wargames Atlantics Afghan Warriors kit captures this spirit of defiance and tactical ingenuity, making it ideal for recreating historical engagements or developing themed forces for frontier campaigns.
