I will probably have some left over plastic figures after I’ve completed the Beja, so I was thinking of using them to make a unit of friendly tribesmen to act as a scouts for my British field force.  These would normally be attached in small numbers to patrols and marching columns, as shown in contemporary illustrations by the likes of Caton Woodville. 

I might just add a couple of figures but I could at a push have a full unit of irregulars, all armed with obsolete rifles but bumped up to five points using the Fieldcraft upgrade. I’d need twelve figures to build a unit but I can probably squeeze that many out of the spare jibbeh clad parts on the sprues, arming them with the rifle equipped arms that I’m not using.
