Wow! Great topic.Good perceptions all!
Unless I'm mistaken,didn't Homer mention
a (Nubian?) king named Memnon who fought
Achilles? I seem to remember he came"in
the nick of time" to aid the Trojans only to
meet the same fate as most who opposed Achilles.

Speaking of Zulu re-encatment.
The uniforms alone could entice me.
(British,not Zulu.)
The same could be said
for many enemies of Rome but that doesn't
seem to stop anyone(Allies and Enemies of Rome-forum?)
form mounting a gallant effort.
My best guess for non-participation,discounting all the above
reasons, would be -"disposable income".

And nobody's inviting them to be the losers. If you look at my list, you'll see that blacks and asians would be on the winning side (or both sides) as often as not.

Stefanos,
Your mention of Memnon is what brought
his name to mind.
I was refering to a part of the Iliad.
Around the same part of the battle
as where Achilles fought the Amazon.
If I recall, Memnon was kicking butt
and thinking these Greeks are not so tough
just before Achilles changed his mind.
Maybe I need a re-read.
