Warfare in the Horn of Africa
Dated: January 31, 2003.
From Richard Brooks, Canada.
"Attached are some pictures of a Colonial battle between Italians and their Eritrean Askari versus the Ethiopians.
The Italian infantry are ESCI's Zulu war British soldiers, the Askari are conversions of ESCI's Napoleonic French, the Italian cannons are from ESCI's Crimean Russian infantry/artillery set, the Italian Machine gun and gunner is from Revell's WWI German Infantry set.
The Ethiopian forces are: Infantry/gun crews from ESCI's Muslim warriors, their guns are ESCI French Napoleonic artillery, Cavalry are HAT's Mamelukes, the camel is from Italieri's saracen warriors set."
Many thanks to Mr. Brooks.
