The Congo

I think that the Red Dragon and Black Dragon operations in the Belgian congo in the early 1960's could make a great addition to the new Raid Series.
You have on the one hand large airborne operations performed at Stanleyville by the regular Belgian army while on the ground you have a long ramshackle column , partly consisting of mercenaries (Mike Hoare anyone ? ) races to the same town. In the air you have anti castro Cubans flying A26 invaders under the command of CIA operatives. Opposing them you have the fierce Simba warriors with some eastern bloc support (like Che Guevara)
There are a lot of sources available in Belgium and some English sources.
