jeffreyt, sounds like you've had better luck with Minifigs (via Caliver Books) than I've had.

Good news from QRF re: German East Africa.  I have sent them quite a bit of information, resources, references, and photos to use.  Continue to keep a sharp eye out for relevant releases from QRF.

Double-nickle zebra, you will be pleased to know that I advocated for both Belgians and Portuguese in what I supplied to QRF.  Of course, mine was only one voice.  I recommend all interested parties communicate their own GEA interests to QRF.  (As long as you match what I want, of course!  lol)

For all, found these images:

The German askari in white, thoughts?  Perhaps earlier than WWI, summer uniforms?  Sailors?  Nice images, regardless - if a bit oversized.  ;)

But are they suitable for German East Africa (the Eureka)?  Trying to see them on site and getting a 503 error.

Definitely mate.  Choice of Brits in sun helmets or caps wearing shorts.

They are true 15mm figures and very nice!  Won't mix with Lancashire or Old Glory, but go well with QRF and maybe Minifigs.

A recent communication with QRF revealed the designer of the East Africa figures is in temporary self-isolation so there may be some delays with releases.  So many disruptions from the Virus.

QRF have released the figures in imperial service dress, i think they are in shirts  ( apart from officers)  rather than tunics.

The November newsletter mentions Kings African Rifle figures soon to be released.
