RED SHADOW The Cast
Moroccan Troops |

Moroccan Regulars
These are the troops used to represent the small regular
units of the Moroccan |
|
Government forces. They can also
represent small units, such as palace guards of the Sultan, important Bashaws
or pretenders to the throne. They usually appear in very small numbers
and are not as good as they are pretty.
They are modeled from Foundry Franco Prussian War French
Zouaves, and are the same figures as used for French Triailleurs, but with
a more appropriate uniform.

Moroccan Irregular troops
are a far more likely to appear on the game table. These irregulars are
provided by the many tribes of Morocco and are in appearance the same as
the Berber tribes at war with the French. They are therefore the same figures
- Old Glory Arabs - from the March or Die range. These specimens are well
worn |
veterans of many games, as can be seen from
the odd patch of bear metal peeking through the paint.
These figures are of course all interchangeable with the
Berber and Arab tribesman figures and of those also used for the mounted
irregulars of the French forces. |

Moroccan irregular troops were
very unreliable during the early part of the century and not as well armed
as the French, using mostly black powder breech loading Remingtons. |
The
majority of the images displayed in the "cast" section were taken on a
Nikon
Coolpix 900 Digital Camera.
Some
of the then were scanned on a flatbed scanner by laying the figure directly
on the glass.
