Today, the Gendarmerie seems to have been brought up to 2500 while the People’s Militia seems not to exist anymore. Nowadays, the army might count an additional 1000 soldiers but that remains uncertain. However, 10 VBL and 16 M113 have been added to its equipment list. The army is also using: ZPU-4, RPG, LRAC and SA-7.

What is there on the air force is incomplete. Today, the air force counts 4 A-109 Agusta and a number of single type aircrafts (1 BAe HS.748, 1 DHC-6, 1 Commander-500B and 1 Alouette III) in addition to what I listed. I consider that the sole patrol ship has been lost.

I know from previous thread that some of us know the movie “Gods must be crazy” and the action was taking place in Botswana. At that time the country’s army was about 600 with a small police force and that explains why Sam Boga could move around so easiliy. At the time of T2K that situation as changed slightly (essentially because of Sam Boga of all sorts). To remain simple I assumed that all brigades are identical. That might not be exactly the case but there are some good chance that this might be almost true. Unit assets are strictly coming out of my imagination (except for the numbers).
Equipements: SA-7, SA-16, Javelin, Carl Gustaf, TOW (6) and Mortars
