Unrest in Ukuechana

News reached the goverment in Kamanjab in the early morning hours. A quick meeting was held and the Joint Generals came to the conclusion that no USAS forces or Jackal Teams could be deployed to the foreign country at this time. But since Ukuechana was planing to keep its embassy open in Kamanjab, Usambara more or less couldn't close its own embassy in Ukuechana.

To free up more Ukuechana troops for the fight at home, Usambara dispatched B-Squadron of its very own Usambara Special Air Service to protect the embassy in Kamanjab.

The Joint Generals contacted Colonel Ilona Koskinen of Skalli Pack and brokered a deal with Hati Pack for protection for both the Ambassador himself as well as the embassy and other key personal.

The music of Usambara

Just a selection of music I listen to when painting models, building terrain and writting stuff for Usambara. New tracks will be added to the playlist frequently. 

 

Usambara Wild Life Reserve

Usambara Wild Life Reserve

The Usambara Wild Life Reserve is a world famous national park in Usambara, well known for its gentle giants, the enormous Usambara Elephants. Due to poaching over the last few decads, most of the elephants have been hunted for there ivory. (Check out the Usambara Park Rangers in the National Forces of Usambara tab for more information.

A Usambara National Guard patrol comes across one of the last herds of Usambara elephants.

 I was in the city today and came across some of these guys. They are a little bit too big, but to be honest, were else to get elephants in 1/50? And they came for just 30€, so not too bad for 5 elephants. Will be using them in a scenario soon, so stay tuned! And yeah for painted models ;)
