Hello All
Excuse any spelling mistakes tip tapping on my phone.
Just having a look at this campaign http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/UN/Belgium/Ethiopia/ (http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/UN/Belgium/Ethiopia/) and I was wondering which of the WW1 East Africa figures would be best for the Belgian Force Publique and the Italian Eritrean Askaris?

Well I never knew about this conflict! What amazes me was just how big the Belgian Congo was :o. Good luck with this possible venture Grumpy.
Might be of interest:

Major regret is that there wasn't a major European punch-up in the Sudan after Omdurman.
Hello All
Thankjs for the replies.
I'm currently thinking of the early German Askaris for the Eritreans and using the KAR for the Force Publique (mainly for their shorts as opposed to the German trousers), might have to do some work on their fez. Looking around for force compositions now.
Will have a look for adobe card models on my hard drive when I get home.
petercooman - Thanks for the link
FK - Turn a regret into a positive with a 'What-If' campaign (I might now that you've put the idea into my head :) )
