African Bush War in 6mm?

There are plenty of 20mm and 28mm figures available for anyone wishing to skirmish game the African Bush Wars (1964-80). But, in the Rhodesian Regular Army, a commando unit numbered 100-men. Of course, they were hard-pressed to field that many, but that was according to the TO&E. So, if one wants to game with 6mm at a company level, what do you use for infantry? I saw the Alouette helicopter here at GHQ. Thanks

GHQ do not produce an accurate figure for this. Boonie hats and FN's could be used for Rhodesian army, Australians in Vietnam, British in various tropic and desert locales of the 1970's and 80's. The brush warriors are fine for generic African forces, but are inadequate for regular forces that did not wear helmets.
