Hallo, when I visited Eurekas homepage last time, I read that you can use their Zanzibari Slavers, to supplement their turkish pirates. My question is, if this is also possible with Foundry Zanzibaris (not the heavily armed), or if there is a big difference between Foundry and Eureka Zanzibaris (maybe clothing or time period or anything else). Thank you

I use the Eureka Zanzibaris along with the Foundry ones as they have the same basic outfit, but I wouldn't mix the Zanzibaris and turkish pirates together.

There is some difference in size and heft, the Eureka being larger by a mm or two, but in mixed units they look ok to me. Ymmv.

I have all of the Foundry and Eureka Zanzibaris… as chick says the Eureka are larger and more bulky, but they're not so different that they can't be seen together. The Eureka Zanzibaris have some nice leader-types, I use one of them as the overall force commander. I can't contribute regarding the pirates, I never picked them up.

Gray Ghost, why wouldn´t you mix the Zanzibaris and the Turks?
