Proxies for Chinese and Boxers? The Europeans and US Marines would be easy to cover. Suggestions on what to use for Chinese and Boxers. And thanks for your respones in advance

This would not help you at all... perhaps... maybe something to ponder on... as a gamer and collector of minis (particularly on the Colonial period) I use puffs of smoke (cotton wool) or even chips and dice.... INSTEAD of the actual opposition... I love my colonials (99% of them are Baccus) but do not own a single Zulu-Dervish-FuzzyWuzzy-Afghan-Ghazi-Boxer-Chiense-Vietmin-Arab-Touareg.Dahomey-Madagascar-Cochinchina-Mexican-Indian (native americans)-you name it!... I do not have lost love for them: It cost me time and money and are too obnoxius in quantity... I had them in my 25MM wargaming days... NO MORE... considere calmly. Cheers.  I almost forgot... even riff-raff like the Natal Native Contingent both mounted and on Foot (that Ol' Good Peter DOES!)  which I do not love at all are only "markers" on the wargames table... (running away markers of course!)...  Also on the other hand I have NO Russian Army for the Crimea... and I do wargame Balaklava... (With Baccus Proxies)... You need all sorts...                            

PS: I have BOTH sides for the ACW though... this method of mine only applies to Colonial warfare or wargaming (and NO I am not a white supremacist!... LOL... a white man nevertheless...)

I am looking.  I think for this scale anything that did not have a shield would work.  Like Gauls, Goths, Egyptians, pretty much anything in clothes with spears just need to find somethng without a shield.   Civillians of anybody really.
