Post War/Modern Africa

[jeffb]

Hi,
Having spent my childhood in East Africa, i have an interest in wargaming post war to Modern Conflicts, i also have an interest in African conservation and i try and wargame this.
          Just wondering if there are plans to produce some generic African Militia, Ultra Modern British/French Infantry etc. As regards wargaming an African conservation scenario, i know there are Rhinos, African Elephants but what about other big game? Buffalos, Giraffes, Hippos, any plans to extend the animal range?  For Game Wardens, the Australians in the Vietnam range would be ideal, is there a photo of these figures? Finally what figures to use for a Big Game Hunters?

Any help, much appreciated.

Cheers  ,
Noticed in the Vietnam range, there is a water buffalo, is there a pic of this? Might be easy to convert to a Cape Buffalo.

Cheers for that. The Water Buffalo looks like it can be converted to a Cape Bufalo, quite easily. and i like the look of the Aussies, they would make ideal Game Wardens armed with SLR's.

Cheers again.

No ways. As easy to turn a Tiger tank into a Jaguar Suit-Wearer. They're very different animals.

Even at this scale. For my purposes, they make an ideal proxy with minor adjutments.
