All,
Have you noticed that Rhodesia is not available prior to 1980? And, Only Zimbabwe comes available then.

Have any of you noticed this? Its gonna be hard to do my Sealous Scouts campaign like that...

You have checked the national availability dates in the manual "historical design notes" section?.

RHO is replaced by ZIM in 1980.

Design. The "red" ( and green )OOB was originally intended for this kind of "insurgent" type force. We used the historical dates nations ended and began. That's why Rhodesia and Zimbabwe are not in the game at the same time.

If you can live with them not being called "ZANLA infantry" or "ZIRPA rifle squad" you can try Rhodesia vs Red and you will get an insurgent type force in opposition. I would suggest a low point campaign ( 1000 or so or even less ).

Download the second Red insurgent orbat from the TOE section. It has Zanla/Zipra Frelimo/Fnla/PAIGC/FARP/ and Unita units and formations. Andy made the first. I edited it to make the second.

Because of the types of units, you may get other than the Zim terrs. There is nothing you can do about. Remember that Frelimo and Zanla co-operated closely.
