Congo:

UN Faction - Probably Irish and Indians

Asset wishlist: Helmets marked with UN and UNO, some in UN blue but most in original colour, US M1 and British Mk III. H-19 helicopter. Turban for Indian faction. P37 webbing variants, ideally one with kukri for Gurkhas. Textures for soft vehicles and C-47. Ferret armoured car.

Simbas

V. Hard faction to do. Asset Unavailability, melee weapon problem, general "look" problem

Split into 2 factions?

"Early" - 1963 - most armed with spears, bows, machetes. Older firearms but some with modern weapons from overrun ANC stocks. Mauser K98ks as placeholder for Mle. 89/36s. FN-49, some FAL.

"Late" - 1965 - soviet aid period, cuban advisors. More conventionally equipped and clad. SKS, some AK, RPD, RPG-2.

"Look" problem - not possible with asset base to recreate historical appearance of mix of some uniforms with tribal features, feathered headdress, face masks, face paint, peak caps with feathers/leaves/fur, monkey fur shawl.

General Congo wishlist:

M8 Greyhound - used by ANC, Katanga, and UN ( several captured from Katanga)
M3 scout car
