Some details from the Kenya module I am working on

[Olefin]

Thought I would put up some details from the Kenya module just to give some flavor (remember the base came from inputs that Frank Frey put up a while ago here as to what his notes were on his unpublished module)

Hope you like it

2nd Bn/228th Aviation Regiment(fixed wing)
• Manpower: 218 men
• Aviation: three OV-10 Broncos, ten A-1J Skyraiders, one P-51, two O-2A

The Army fixed wing battalion was a reserve formation that was sent due to an initial lack of Air Force assets for Kenya. A scratch force, it was armed with O-2A, OV-10 Broncos and A-1J Skyraiders either bought from private collectors or found at AMARC.

It was then augmented by seven Skyraiders from Chad that were in the process of being shipped to the USA from Mombasa to collectors when the war broke out. The P-51 is the commander’s personal aircraft which he had added to the unit after it was rearmed and made operational.

Its pilots are, to say the least, a colorful batch of men who in many cases are veterans of Vietnam and fire fighting air units and thus are very good at what they do. After the USAF detachment arrived the Army fliers went to considerable lengths to show off their skills especially after several comments about them flying “relics and flying junk heaps” were made at a local bar by a very drunk Air Force Captain, followed by a bar fight that has now become a local legend.


His Majesty’s Kenyan Lions (Elizabeth is dead remember so its a King now)

• Manpower: 425 men
• Vehicles: 6 Land Rovers, 4 gun trucks

A group of former British soldiers and expats, most of them grey beards, who were living in Kenya and who decided to form their own unit to fight under AFCOM command in 1998.

While seen initially as a bunch of old men trying to regain past glories this changed in 1999 when the unit, defending a missionary church in western Kenya near the Tanzanian border, destroyed utterly a group of over 200 marauders in a two day fight. They are considered part of the Mombasa Area Defense Group (Provisional) as to reporting structure.

Originally armed with a large variety of civilian weapons they now are equipped with military weapons, although many of them retain civilian side arms and sniper rifles.
