AK47 Republic (first game page 6)

I have really enjoyed this thread-I used to play AK47 and last year purchased and printed out the pdf version just to have a read of it again. My old eyes probably could not manage 15mm these days though!

I have to ask how did you make the tower/oil well-it looks fantastic.

The more regular parts of the Peter Pig AK47 range are a doddle to paint, if your standards aren’t too high. Spray them in your predominant colour (e.g. olive drab), block in other colours for weapons and flesh etc. and then splash on a dark wash.

looking great, love the basing.

Looks like some 3d printed stuff in the box??

Ive done some of Bergmans stuff in 15mm for this

Ordered some stuff from butlers printed models, a couple of bedford RL's and a couple of Saladin armoured cars not really a fan, yet to try and paint one, a lot of work to prep for undercoat

The tower was cut carefully from cereal packet cardboard, I then used the first one as a template to draw out the other three side and again carefully cut them out and glued it all together and try to hold it all together while the glue sets

The tower suddenly becomes more impressive now that your construction method has been revealed! AK47 does tick all the boxes for  fun game

Been rolling some dice in the AK47 rule book so I now have a name for my country and flags for the two main sides
So a bit of history and background

The Country of NEW-BOSIA is a small country on the West African coast. The capital city is called Collinsville. The land was settled back in the late 1700’s mainly by British people of Scottish decent leaving the country after the troubles, the Local population moved inland away from the settlers. The small country has been pretty much left alone during all the world troubles as it was not on any major trade routes and only during the second world war did the country supply troops to the British empire, the troops formed a battalion in the south African division and fought in the North African and Italian campaigns, Post-war has seen the country getting involved in independence wars as some of the native Africans have been pushed from their lands by other wars and are encroaching on the peaceful white areas of the country. The local government has been supported by the British government in the past, but that support has fallen in recent years and the local native population is being encouraged by neighbouring communist countries to overthrow the local western style government.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF NEW-BOSIA (CPONB)
The main units of CPONB are regular trained in neighbouring countries and supported by the same countries with armaments, a local militia is recruited from the native population. In the local region names are seen as very important, the more powerful name the better the person/unit

Economy
In recent years in has been found that there is oil under ground in the region and “British Oillay (BO)” have set up some drilling rigs to access it. There is also some exploration for other valuable minerals by the same company. In the past there was some exploitation of the local fauna and various woods from the area were popular for a while. Tourism has been the main import for most of the county’s history, but this has recently been curtailed by regular attacks on the only airport by communist F19 Farmer aircraft from nearby countries
Landscape
There is some flat arable land around the river down by the coast and that is where most of the settles live but most of the land is mountainous Jungle with the odd farm stead and local village cut out of the jungle. There is a decent road network though out the country due to the efforts of the mining companies

I got my Saladins & other bits for the Zumri Naval force (They were heavily influenced by
the Royal Navy & their use of armoured cars.) from Sky-Trex. I think they are still available.
