Gents,
Just a question regards a bit of re-purposing of figures (28mm).
I have a good many Eureka ZANLA figures with SKS and AK-47 rifles.
Other than the ’funky looking’ Simbas, how well would these work for Congolese rebels in the mid 1960s? They did capture ANC stockpiles of FN rifles but Chinese and Soviet weapons shipments provided them with soviet weapons as well.
As far as opponents go…what figures would do for 5 Commando Mercs (excluding Britannia minis which don't work for me)…Aden British? WW2 types?…essentially looking for sculpts to the standard of Paul Hicks, Kosta, Spectre, etc….(sadly the Congo range by Mr Hicks is no longer available).
Lastly, any other info regards other troops from the ANC, UN troops, etc would be most welcome…it’s been a while since this topic has been covered and hoping other possible figure candidates might be available.
Here's a useful link for pics.
