Moroccan and CTV codes for SCW

[streetgang]

I'm spending some time in Casablanca and now have an itch to collect a small Moroccan force for the SCW.

I recall on the old website, the various factions were separated into their own sections (i.e. CTV, Foreign Legion, etc), they now appear to be grouped all together with generic descriptions.

Can anyone inform me which codes are specifically for Army of Africa as well as the CTV (I still need to finish a small Italian force I started up). Thanks!

"Welcome back to the fight" seems to be the other appropriate Casablanca quote 

Here are links to a version of the Pendraken website from 2023 which shows the SCW range split up by factions:

Please be patient as wayback machine pages can take a while to load, but all the links I tried did work.

Hope that is useful to you Streetgang.

A Moroccan force for the SCW you say? "Play it, Sam Streetgang!"  

Well done Peter for providing the links.

Both great quotes

If you visit the website on a desktop browser then there are filtering options available on the left to show the different factions. 


For some reason these don't show on mobile.

Thanks gents, I just realized there are filters on the side of the webpage that allow you to vector in on specific factions. I still used those wayback links to double-check what I want to order.

While I will likely buy them soon (the tariffs have created a mental hurdle and I have yet to order anything since they were imposed), I think this project will be a bit on the back burner. I have a partially painted CTV force I need to complete as well as an International Brigade force to oppose them (and the Moroccans).

It reminds me that I also have partially painted 1973 Egyptians, fully painted Korean War Chinese in winter uniform and partially painted Viet Minh for the Indochina....and I've neglected to paint up the force I purchased to oppose them!

I was very disappointed to learn the movie production never left California to film Casablanca and that the Rick's Cafe in the city was only established in 2004. My family kept asking me if I had seen the cafe in my travels. I will have to rewatch the movie sometime, it's been ages.

Can anyone point me to what the Moroccan regulares uniform would be for winter operations? I think I plan to assemble my force for the Battle of Jarama in February 1937. I would imagine the sculpts in "winter" gear would be more appropriate for this battle but Im not certain.

Would they be wearing a similar lentil color as their summer uniform but with the overcoats and/or djellaba ponchos? Thanks!
