Nice work Matakishi! Are you thinking of doing a Wild Geese type scenario? Cheers mate,

I will be doing several different scenarios set in a fictional Africa but based on real events or films.
I've already put on a 'get the civilians to the airport' game which was well received.

I plan to do an Entebbe style rescue, a Sierra Leone rescue and some other encounters that may well find themselves strung together to form a narrative not dissimilar to the Wild Geese film.
Currently I'm finishing off the Warlord troops (7), painting a few more mercenaries ( 8 ) and a Che figure which will complete my African set for now. I hope to get a few more vehicles and probably make some more scenery; I'm planning a presidential residence and a mine at the moment.
I also need more jungle.

My next similar outing will be Malaya.

Nice nice nice! Consider me inspired!

Oh, and this evening, I've just finished 10 SAS troopers in 'Embassy' gear so I can do an Iranian Embassy game. This isn't actually African but is in the same ballpark (might use them for Entebbe too).

Been watching for quite awhile as you have built your terrain and minis... and it just keeps getting better!!!

A genuinely super effort here!

I've finished the African Warlord troops with the addition of the general and his bodyguard.



And added another foreign adviser.



I've also painted some more mercenaries.



Here are the SAS I mentioned earlier, there'll be more about them when I've built the embassy.
