Hello everyone, Apart from Britannia Miniatures, which offers 28 mm miniatures for the Simba rebellion which took place, from 1961 to 1964, in Congo-Léopoldville (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo)?
Is there a specific rule to simulate this with miniatures?
Thank you. |

If you want Europeans, Badger/Mongrel has some: link Eureka also has a Rhodesian Wars line. link I don't know of anyone besides Britannia that makes Simbas. |

While I love both Badger and Eureka figures, these lines are not considered compatible on my table. I have both within my collection. The Eureka figures are more slimmer than the Badger ones. As a follow up question, how do Britannia figures measure up? |

The Britannia figures are quite different(and dated) in style than anything else. I convert miniatures into simbas with head swaps using african heads (from Foundry Darkest Aftice) |

What kind of rule are you looking for? Is there a specific rule to simulate this with miniatures? |

If you can find a copy "Bush Wars" from the Ambush Alley (Force on Force) rules is worth it's weight in gold. A few special rules and lots of support info. |

AK47 rules have been written for this period then got expanded to cover other African wars. |

Thanks everyone, I want to play with 28mm figures,so it's only Britannia Miniatures doing Simba figures? And as a rule of the game, there are only "Bush Wars" and "AK47" "rules? They are rules of skirmish? And for documentation on the organizations, equipment and clothing of the various belligerents? |

AK47 I think were originally written for 15mm games or smaller but I have used and seen other gamers using the rules for 28mm figures, you just need a bigger table.
Your troops are formed into units and operate as such but the game has a skirmish feel to it. |

Hi,
Too Fat Lardies do a supplement for I Ain't Been Shot Mum for the African bush wars called B'maso
link It has a section on the Simba revolt including a scenario.
It's not stand alone so you need the I Ain't Been Shot Mum rules to play. These are company level so not skirmish.
Both the rules and B'maso are available as pdfs. |

If your of the type of gamer who likes to build your own rules, then One Hour Skirmish may be a good fit. I modified it for the Rhodesian War and it worked quite well. My main modification was to create limited card decks based on troop quality. |
