20mm African Rebel Platoon

These guys are a generic African Platoon and they'll be putting in service as ZANLA/ZIPRA/FRELIMO for the Rhodesian Bush War and also SWAPO for the South African Border War. I've went for a fairly standard organisation 3 squads of 8 fighters, a platoon HQ and a couple of support elements. I wanted a random, though uniform look, so there's a mixture of green and navy uniforms as well as an occasional piece of camo. The figures are all Liberation apart from a single Mutineer RPG gunner.

First is the 4 man Platoon Command

1st Squad

2nd Squad

3rd Squad

Support, AGS-17 and a ZPU1

Casualties

There's more stuff to come including vehicles, I've been trying to get my hands on an S-Model BRDM2 without much luck, if anyone has a spare in their stash let me know!

      Thanks for that Mark, I tried to get one at PSC at Vapnartak at York on Sunday but they hadn't had their delivery, just ordered on line, the heads up is very much appreciated!

    They look great- as you say very useful for a variety of conflicts too.

    Cheers,

    Pete.
