Congo 1964

[troopie]

In one of the Red Orbats there are Simbas for the 1960s Congo. The ANC of the 1960s was organised similarly to the Belgian army, save with older weapons, fewer heavy weapons and poorer discipline. The Mercenaries were organised variously, the 4 and 5 Commando IIRC folowed British procedure, 6 Commando followed French procedure, 14 Commando followed Belgian procedure.

Official guerrilla TOEs should not be taken too seriously. Guerrillas, here the Simbas, Kasais, Katangese tend to be armed with what they can get from whoever. The Simbas did have some older Chinese weapons.
