The UNDF main force

There is a civil war in neighboring Federal Republic of Mumbia raging on between the rogue dictatorship and Ubunto-backed Mumbia Separatist Front. President Osumi has been backing  is eager for a reason to send his seasoned troops across the border into Mumbia to seize her southern oil fields. The Mumbian Civil War has turned to a stalemate with both the Mumbian Grand Army of the Republic and Mumbia Separatist Front gearing up for renewed offensives. Osumi has made speeches advocating intervention to topple the Mumbian government and spreading the Marxist revolution. Currently however, unrest over the price of wheat and oil has postponed any notions of invasion.


I plan to add at least one more T-55 and another wheeled fighting vehicle to the force in the future. Probably a technical.

UNDF Infantry and mortar support

The Ubunto National Defense Force is well supplied with Russian tanks, AK-74s, RPG-7s, PK machine guns  and outfitted in a khaki/green/brown camo uniform. Russian trained crews operate these Soviet and UK built mortars. The helmeted crew are Old Glory Middle Eastern regular Inf Support and the others are OG African Irregular Inf Support crew.

 The three mortar battery.

Next up is the UNDF infantry platoon. Old Glory African Irregulars in the aforementioned camo. The Captain is an Old Glory Middle Eastern Regular commander and the Russian KGB agent with the shotgun is a GZG armed Sci-Fi civilian.
 I had a lot of fun painting these guys. The light machine gunner in the command squad is from Peter Pig.

 Osumi's army is made up of scores of light infantry like these and backed by armored brigades.
 Some close ups.

 Some shots of the UNDF attacking.

Armored units of the Ubunto National Defense Force.

Here are the first armored offerings of Soviet-backed UNDF of the Democratic People's Republic of Ubunto. President Osumi's men are Russian trained and equipped. Here are some PT-76s from Old Glory. As Ubunto is covered is marshlands and jungle, there are many rivers and bodies of water for fighting vehicles to ford through. 
 They would surely be difficult targets for the Sherman tanks of the ULA.

 T-55s make up the bulk of UNDF's armored brigades. In recent weeks President Osumi has ordered T-55s onto the streets of Mumbusa, Ubunto's capitol to quell popular unrest against the Ubunto Worker's Party's dictatorship.
