Tercio Sahariano
In 1957-58 Spain fought a short war to hold onto its Western Sahara possessions against locals supported by Morocco.
This was a very small scale local conflict, one which I think is highly playable.
Also the kit used was an interesting mix, making it visually appealing too.
Now I`ve already done a couple of Legion squads with S15T transports, here -

But wanted to expand the unit to a full company under our rules.

Very unusual and nicely done. I'd never heard of this war...but I'll look it up, now.
ReplyDeleteA typical end of empire/colonial struggle, only lasted about a year.
