You, Sir, are a devious seductor of the innocent! Now I REALLY want to build some skirmish forces for "Wild Geese" or "Katanga" gaming!

Awesome. I like the pale-ish green on the jeeps, and the weathering is superb!

The basing reflects the training and organisation of the troops, these are based as WWII troops, each base represents a squad of about 10-12 men and they are on squares so they have a definite 'rear arc' for firing and spotting.
Modern troops are based in fire teams of 4 men and have 360 degrees arc of fire and vision so are on round bases.
