Principles of War - Colonial Army Lists 1838-1915

These army lists have been designed to cover colonial warfare between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. This was a period of European expansion with small armies going out to conquer large areas of the globe from fierce but poorly equipped natives, initially to expand trade and later under the cover of civilizing the world and forming colonial empires.

The army lists contained fixed armies giving the player no choice of troops in their army's composition, variation is brought in by the use of the random unit strength generation in the rules.
