The Zugandan
People’s Resistance Army is the neo-communist rebel army opposed to the
dictatorship of President Madanawanga. The vast majority of the PRA forces tend
to be child soldiers or militias forcefully conscripted into the PRA. Their
training is minimal, and they are typically poorly equipped, but they have been
systematically brutalised, and many are addicted to strong narcotics and
amphetamines. I-COZ forces have reported these militiamen remaining in the
field longer than world be expected for troops of their quality.
The PRA have been
accused of conducting a campaign of systematic genocidal attacks against the
minority ethnic Metandi population.
The above ‘fluff’ is part of the background I have written for my Force on Force campaign. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable about the whole area of ‘modern’ era wargaming; i.e. war gaming conflicts that are on going or have happened in resent memory, I decide to create a fictitious war-torn West African country called the Democratic Republic of Zugando.
The figures are, for the most part, by The Assault Group. A few Britannia miniatures managed to sneak in too.
I wanted the militiamen to look quite different from the
uniformed regular army, despite in many cased being based on the same figure.
Having looked at a lot of google-images of African militias and Somali pirates
I opted for bright colours, and a lot of sportswear, as this seems to be what
all well dressed militiamen have opted for.

These are really nicely painted Zugandans, Sir. A pleasure to view.
