no criticism intended, but I am not sure if a Muslim might feel offended by the use of " God is Great" in this wargame context and spelled wrong....

anyway

I always liked Zouaves and would like to know in which context the new Perry plastic Zouaves could be used other than ACW - since You are already in this sector
oh, and - the weapons don't bother me

Spelled wrong?  It's an English transliteration of an Arabic phrase?

Like the Jewish/Christian "YHWH", Allah has many accepted spellings, depending on what language you're using.

Like most Arabic/Moslem/Punjabi etc words- there are always variations of spelling something from a language that uses a different written script. Look at the many ways Mohammed can be spelled, for example.

In any case, no offense was intended.  It was jovial, but also accepting the well-known ferocious courage of Turk, Arab and Ansar.

sorry, did not want to be nitpicking
by my understanding there is something like an "official" transliteration

anyway
the intention was to avoid offense, I think the purpose is served, so

It's all good.
