The figures are Airfix & Esci 20mm figures based as 15mm and I have Airfix Bedouin as the wily Tuareg! Fort Zinderneuf is the Airfix Fort Sahara.

Hott (unlike DBA) does not have camelry as a separate element type. To give a different feel for the two groups (horse and camel), my Arab camels are classed as knight and the horse as riders. They both have the same bases and so I could class them both as riders.
