Africa Addio pt. 2 – Post-Colonial Forces in Cold War Africa

…The devastation, the slaughter, the massacres which we assisted belong to a new Africa- one which if it emerges from its ruins to be more modern, more rational, more conscious- will be unrecognizable.

The second part to my Cold War Africa series of skins. The focus is now on the powers and groups that had formed during the decolonization of Africa.

Generic Communists

-Leninist Guerrilla
Soviet backed guerrillas.

-Maoist Guerrilla
Chinese backed guerrillas; Originally had a Mao cap, but I felt it looked too silly.

Angola

-FAPLA Regular
Soldiers of the armed wing of the MPLA, please leave your dirty thoughts at the door.

-UNITA Regular
STOP READING THIS BROTHER, WE MUST FIGHT THE MPLA!

-Cuban Regular
Hopefully the Spanish to Portuguese language barrier does not impair the Cuban efforts to advise the Angolans.

State of Katanga

-Katangese Gendarme
The closest we’ve ever gotten to Outer Heaven.

Biafra

-Biafran Regular
No, we did not supply Biafra. -Czechslovak Gov’t

Generic Regulars

-African Regular Khaki
They must really love British webbing and American helmets down in Africa.

-African Regular Green
NOW COMES IN GREEN!
