It's finally happened chaps! It would seem after years of nagging that foundry has decided to bring back the renegade askari pack:

we could use them for Force Publique askari of the Dhanis expedition toward nile to fight Dervishes  that revolted vs his officers and required the diverting of precious loyal Belgian Askaris to beat them...a long series of skirmishes and battle took place..sometime with Mahdists, Arabs and African tribesmen supporting the rebels and Azande supporting the loyal Force Publique...i read that rebel armies were formed by a core of  partially uniformed soldiers employing succsfully Belgian drill tactics and bugle sounds..and many other non uniformed/naked types armed , in any case, with Government firearms...
