Posted on 30 May 2011 at 22:02:40 GMT I wonder if I got a badly moulded batch of Insurgents then? My guys don't seem to be armed with Ak47s, just some sort of machine pistol, like a Steyr TMP perhaps, with a few HMGs and shoulder launched rockets (not detailed enough to make out). Originally they were going to be a generic rebel/enemy force, but instead they received a bottle green colour scheme, got kitted out with Greyhound armoured cars and became a force of Bundesgrenschutz, West German border guards. I used them in our 1963 campaign, Kruschev's Gambit, to patrol the border and defend airbases. They don't add much militarily but they do bring a bit of character.
As for Mujahadeen, GHQ every time. They can be the brave Mujahadeen Freedom Fighters of the 1980s so beloved by the Yanks, Arab mercenaries interfering in Africa, Libyan rebels or Terry Taliban. Expensive, but v useful. |
