Eureka are the best for Rhodesia and Portugal's bush wars. I have them, however, they are quite thin compared to other ranges like TAG. |

Eureka also do British for Aden 1967 (SLR and GPMG) and Soviets in tropical gear which can be pressed into service for various things. |

I don't know, but I'm glad you asked. Some years ago, I got to play Force on Force at a convention with some really well done 28mm Bush War figures. I would love to have a couple of opposing squads by that manufacturer. The scenario was Rhodesians attacking an insurgent base in Mozambique, as I recall. Really fun time. |

Cibos Little Dudes do a wide range of Bush Wars figures. |

Then check Eureka. They are listed first in the Force on Force sourcebook for the Bush Wars. I highly suggest anyone interested in this period should pick up copy. |

The Eureka figures are terrific, especially the Aden troops with Glengarry caps. Grubby Tanks has the old Britannia range for Malaya in the 50s. Weapon swaps for British 8th army types would work for some locations, The Assault Group and Colonel Bill do weapon packs that would work. Tarv at Tarvmodels.co.uk do Royal Navy landing parties with SLRs and Sterling SMGs. |
