What? Stargate is fictional? 


But back on topic: These are my Askari, Mike. They have a MaximMG, but regretfully I don´t remember who made them. Perhaps some fellow member can point you there:

Great War German auxiliaries from Sudan:

Brigade Games Great War in East Africa range, Michi.


The "Maxim" is a 1908 Spandau-built model, but I guess nobody is going to worry about its time-travelling properties in IHMN.

Absolutely----they got that Mauser C96 into production at least a year earlier, didn't they?  

Michi: love Brigades' Askaris. I think they'll do nicely for my scouts, although they won't look nearly as nice as yours!  

[former user]

in fact, it is the Mauser C86....

[Michi]

no nude girls at all 

Wagermani and their families along with

going into WW1??

Actually I had the vision in 2012 that somebody will write a set of rules soon that will inspire somebody else to create a "fictional" company that would suit some set of miniatures that should be painted then to get into gaming... or so.
