Gents,

I have quite a few Green uniform ZIPRA troops for the Bush War and was looking to add some ZANLA troops in the 'buff' colors.

Whilst I know there is a lot of variation, I wonder if anyone could suggest the alternate uses for troops that look like this…Congo, Angola, ???

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers

Pretty much any real or made up African conflict

Agreed. Given the number of Latin nations that have folks of African ancestry I've used them in Latin American conflicts as well.

Gents,

It looks like a platoon of these will do for a whole swathe of troops…a pretty versatile unit.

..any other thoughts from others welcome.

Thanks guys.

Cheers

I used all the one's I bought as PLO militia in 1980s Lebanon by adding a head wrap, going to do the same thing with the Somalis

Happy you can have them prop up any regime in Africa you want (throw a dart to pick) I promise you they will be happy to be as ineffective for any country 'real or imagined' in Greater Azania. 8_)

Add a few technicals and a truck or two for the loot and ladies and you have a real hard lot, Not.. Happy gaming. Cheers

They could be used as Poachers!! Rhino/Elephant poaching has increased these past few years.

Or they could be Kenyan Wildlife Service, fighting the poachers. Except the RPG guy. I don't think the Kenyan Wildlife Service uses RPGs.
