@damon : I guess part of the problem is indeed that it’s “just africa” which kind of sounds racist.

OTOH … it’s not like we (as in the west) had a lot of interest in the eastern front either.

Perhaps it was easier to demonize Soviets post cold war than to create a feeling of empathy for whatever happened to Africa ?
Lack of information certainly isn’t helping matters.

At least that’s my 2 cents.

Back to possible paint schemes …

Is it possible to pick a scheme that allows a DAK force to be used as an early war European unit ?

I’m not looking for perfect historical accuracy, but more of a way to maximize their use.

If I understand correctly then vehicles can be gray-ish (assuming we get any at all), which makes sense for both theaters.

Is there something similar for uniforms ? Provided they don’t look too ‘tropical’ ?

I’ll probably be too busy assembling and playing to worry about getting any painting done at bootcamp.
Heck, at my speed I’d probably have a single figure assembled and painted … 😉
