Range 17 Generic Modern African wars 1960-1985 There is a set of rules from RFCM.( "AK47 Republic") This range covers generic type armies and not named states or large armoured battles. In order to keep the descriptions of the figures and models clear and concise the letter M,R and P will be used . The Letter M indicates the figures are suitable for Militia/poor quality troops and will thus have poorer equipment and dress. R represents regular troops in the sense that they are full time soldiers, not that they are necessarily very good soldiers. They will have some uniformity and heavier weapons. p represents Professional troops such as south African army or mercenaries. Thus the pack  labelled M AK47 Beret contains Militia armed with AK 47s  and wearing berets as a distinguishing feature.

Militia Painting by War-Painter...superb (click here)
These troops are the backbone of the African armies. They  are bareheaded and carry a limited amount of ammo and supplies. They expect to be supplied on a daily basis. They expect  to fight in built up areas where they can seek cover and loot. Militia take on the habits of an armed mob when in combat. Militia will usually withdraw when faced with regular soldiers. They will evaporate if faced with professional soldiers. Militia will often wear bright or inappropriate clothing.

Regulars
These are full time soldiers. They supplement their erratic pay by setting up road blocks. These troops will fight well if circumstances are favourable. They will obey their officers and will use proper tactics. regulars might well have coloured hats or armbands for identification. Camouflage combat uniforms are common.  The helmeted figures will just fine for Cubans, Syrians and the like. They can also be mixed in with beret types as regulars.

USMC by Si Tyler........thank you! (Si is a member of RFCM  team)
From Mark Davies (Thank you)
They're a pair of South African AT vehicles, equipped with the French ENTAC ATGM system, as used by South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and others.
The SADF used them in Angola in the 1970s and 80s - both as part of battalion AT Platoons and as direct attachment to UNITA forces.
