So head coverings, not nessecerily wearing uniforms. Anything on horse would be a bonus and I'd hope a few heavy machine guns and rpgs/anti tank rifles coud be found amoungst them. Anyone know of any suppiers with such a range? Closest I've seen is DRM's scout infantry link but they don't have anything to accompany them. |

I've been bugging GHQ for a long time about Middle Eastern, North African, Balkan, and Chechen/Former Soviet Union militia infantry. Instead they decided to do a WWII fantasy product line. They have Afghan militia but they don't look anything like Middle Eastern/North African militia. With real-world conflicts in the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa I'm not sure why they felt a WWII fantasy line was so important. I guess WWII fantasy is a bigger seller than actual modern conflicts. I hope it was worth it for them. MB |

Yeah. Considering most of the wars take place in Africa I'm surprised they aren't covered more. How long do they have to fight in the Sahara to get a model range? :) |

I have the irregular arabs and the british and french as well for LofA. They are unpainted, I never got around to finishing them up. I was looking to post them to ebay, but if you are interested I can send a few pics of them. Let me know at jonyuengling at gmail.com. |

I'm going to have a go with a few afghans and see how that turns out. However I've passed your address onto a friend who might e interested, but don't hold back on our account! |
