Merc in Mozambique, 1974
This is my first attempt at weathering, so be gentle. This bash represents
a VN vet who has become a merc with Roxo's Irregulars, fighting against the
Frelimo guerrilla's in Mozambique, circa 1974. This merc is a tracker, one
of Roxo's troops who followed the Frelimo terrs into the bush and radio'd
their position in to allow a quick reaction force to raid the terr
positions. Roxo, a Portugese former big game hunter who emigrated to
Mozambique in the 1950's, first joined the fight against the Frelimo Terrs
in the early 1960's, came to be known as the "White Devil of Niassa). He
refused to operate outside of his own province, was a strict disciplinarian
of his troops. Roxo's band of less than 100 troops killed more Frelimo
terrs than the entire 60,000 strong Portugese colonial army. This bash and
weathering shows a tracker who had been in the field for several days, has
spotted the terrs and is calling in reinforcements.
