No one, as far as I know! Maybe with the forthcoming Osprey book on the Italian-Ottoman war we may get some?

That's just what I was thinking but then I haven't bought the Setting the East Ablaze Dunsterforce supplement as of yet......  :) Something I need top get around to doing ASAP!!

I've got the Mad Mullah supplement but haven't had time to read through it- I did of course start gawping at the pics  :-*

Does anyone know if the Brits use Model T Fords's in the Horn of Africa? I need a good excuse!

Paul,

Excellent minis, and can't wait to purchase a bunch of them from your US guy.

One suggestion, to have a option (separate pack) of a Vickers MG on tripod mount for the rear, so these can also be used for the later version  for some of the Light Patrol Cars. Will work nicely against the Senussi in Egypt (an upcoming STEA scenario book by yours truly  ;).

Regards,
Bob

Model T's were absolutely ubiquitous in the early 20's, so I don't think you need an excuse of any sort to sneak one in. It'd hardly be grossly ahistorical. ;)

The Vickers team will be released in a few days. It fits into the rear of the cut down Model T that we will also release. It is designed to work on the rear of the vehicle and also be taken out with the team and ground mounted. The Empress Rolls Royce AC kit also comes with the ability to dismount the Vickers as that was quite a common usage.

I've ordered six.  It may not be enough........
