Great looking additions, James.  I love the uncertainty added with the merchants - most Afghans oppose the Taliban, but how can you tell if this particular bloke with a phone is one of them?

I think he's calling home to get a grocery list:
"A dozen chappatis. OK.
Some lamb, but only if it's fresh. OK
Yogurt.
Anything else my little pomegranate?"

Well done with your collection. You have painted and based them very well. Can I ask who sells the vendors? They are a nice touch.

Fellow on left is Wartime Miniatures Afghan trader with goods, available from Elheim Figures. I added more boxes to either side of him.
Fellow on right is an Elheim Figures insurgent dicker sitting behind an S&S Models weapons cache and some extra boxes.
