Glad I'm not the only one! I know the authors are French, but the natural presumption is Vee for Victory.

Unaccustomed as I am to Post War/modern gaming of any persuasion, the title 'AK47 Republic' says it all for me on several continents. I would have thought you'd potentially run the risk of alienating the existing fanbase if you don't incorporate that into the new rules you guys are developing... AK47 Republic The Fully Reloaded Edition works for me...

The new version is probably  to be named "AK 47 Republic- People's Edition".
That should work well.

Changing to a grid is a bit of a revolution to the rules.
How about "AK47 Republic - Revolution!"

Just a bit of fun (quite happy with People's edition)

What about "Beasts of the African Nation", this could/would cover a vast period of African history from the 1950's - 2000. All influenced by leading world nations of Europe and it's rush during the 19th century+and dominance of power, oil, copper, diamonds and  uranium.

I do like "Peoples Edition". It has a certain ring to it and does give a nod to revolution. The politicians always are always talking about "the people" and how the people will be liberated, better off, etc.

I too like People's Edition.

I do feel that we need a proper debate over where we place the apostrophe, though: People's or Peoples'...

Surely Popular People's edition (splitters).

As said earlier, there will be at least 13 different covers to cater for all.

Personalized covers would surely be a first in the industry.

A bit like those 'special' editions some popular rules release where they charge twice as much for the same rule book but with a different cover.

Maybe charge £50 for a special cover. It will be an investment!

Well, after perusing various comments on this and other sites I have reached the conclusion that, after 58 years, I have never been a wargamer but rather a tabletop re-enactor. No wonder the pub was the best bit.

AK47 Republic - Victory Square!? Just chucking that in!

I do like the idea of a personalised cover. Having your name name on the PDF was revolutionary enough I thought. However, clearly, theree's more!
