	Yes but probably never seen in greater than brigade strength.
Can't let a
commander have too many of these as he might get ideas.

	Yes but mostly Green with some Regulars. Confidence is as Elite
until unit
leader KO'd. ie platoon leader buys it then his platoon tests as
Green/Reg,
Brigade leader buys it and the whole brigade tests as Green/Reg.

>Maghriba: Lybian light grav tanks.

	Yes but no supporting elements.
  
>'Abid: Mercenaries from the PAU.  High quality heavy infantry

	Reg or Vet inf. Each Battilon should have 1 platoon of PA. Not
much support.

>Zanj: Sudanese light infantry of good quality.

	Reg or Vet infantry with supports (but perhaps only light
Artillery and
not much)

	Afghan Mujahadin - Regular or Vet. Treat as normal line inf but
they get a
close combat bonus the same as PA. No vehicles and no formation bigger
than
battilon. Confidence always D10.
