Burmese

Book by Dan Mersey on the Burmese. Mine’s hiding somewhere- I’ll let you know when/if it comes out of hiding

Ha ha 🤣😂
My copy is in a box, somewhere in a room pretty full of other boxes containing lots and lots of books, comic, magazines etc… Oh, and some Wargames stuff too… 😉

Heaven forbid I ever make a start on the “library” project and get some of this stuff onto shelves.

Cheers,

Ha! You know what…neither can I. 
Here is a better enlargeable version:-



…but I should point out that they are merely player created figures for the “Civ4” computer game.
(Although not suitable for a ‘purest’, they’d probably be ok for the ‘generalist’ units like I often use)

You might borrow following via inter library loan or read reviews to decide if it might help.

Burma and Indo-China, by Ian Heath, Publisher: Foundry Books; ISBN: 9781901543063; 207 pages roughly A4 print size (roughly). I have the Chinese dynasties in 19th century book which is jammed packed with illustrations and potted histories, and gives an insight into armies well before 1800.
It was originally published as Hardback in June 2009 for £25 it is long out of print and much sought after. It probably covers later period than your interests but many aspects may be same or similar other than use of firearms in this very traditional society till European and later Japanese imperialism impacted Burma (as it was once called).
They are fast becoming collectors items so you will find seller on Amazon asking £87 for said book. So far cheaper to join library and get hold of loan copy to see if its useful.

Wargames Foundry do have some of their titles available, and still at reasonable prices.

Sadly, the Burma and Indo-China title isn’t one of them. It is a lovely, lovely book though, as are pretty much all of their books. Highly recommended 👍👍

For history rather than appearance of troops you could search for (inter library?) copy of
History of Burma, From the Earliest Times to 10 March 1824 The Beginning of the English Conquest, by G. E. Harvey, published 1983; and by Routledge in paperback in 2020, ISBN 9780367136871; 454 Pages; still in print as pbk for £34.99p (the ebook is £31.49).
