Any recommendations for substitutes for Italian troops in the Horn of Africa in 1890s?

Hmmm....you could substitute Brits for them, or Mahdists, or Egyptians. I think these all fared better against the Negus than the Italians did!

Perhaps I didn't phrase the question well.

Any recommendations for Italian troops in the Horn of Africa in 1890s using existing ranges?

I know. But I've got to inflate my posts somehow if I'm to get another promotion before my end of year holiday.

Naughty. Anyway, your rank is Thai, not up to European standards old boy.

I only live here! Why can't I rather have a Hussite ranking from the time I lived among the Czechs? They don't come any tougher than that!

Or, as a South African, rank as a Boer Kommando or Zulu induna? You wouldn't diss their fighting qualities.

Any ideas?

Apart from apart from inflating your post count

Would the North West Frontier range work?

FK  this is a most ungentlemanly thing to do.

To suggest that I might be doing this to up my posts to get a promotion by the end of the week are correct a complete work of fiction  

Nearly there Orcs, keep it up!

Unfortunately you seem to have been hijacked by cheese eating, status-seeking post-hounds.

I'd go for the Zulu war infantry as the best fit for the Italian infantry.








Feathers could be flock glued to the side of the pith, etc.

Maxim available in the NWF range

My first post wasn't entirely flippant. Those others did fight them, and each other, so get the whole set and run a huge campaign.

Sculpted Green Stuff might be a better bet.
