Here is the final unit for the British forces for my Zambezi campaign: the British baggage element. Technically you only need 4 elements but I feel that only four bearers look a bit thin so I have made each element two figures to give a better looking group.
Burton and Speke's original expedition to the Mountains of the Moon, for example, started with around 100 askaris and 100 bearers and that was, essentially a two man expedition. Probably there should be a bearer for every combatant! Some of Stanley's expeditions had over a thousand bearers.
Foundry make two packs of bearers so I have managed to avoid any duplication and still have some left over for the Arab force.
