Modifying AK-47 for Multi-players Convention

[Smiley Miley 66]

Some old pictures of AK 47 games. Including a big one we done at Bovington 2007/8? Even got some my matchbox lorries on the front cover of Miniature Wargames that year !
Unfortunately have lost a lot of the pictures of that game ?

Two of those are from the weekender where I played Mike Coaker. Had a great time with it.

I am planning a small solo campaign late summer, as there is unrest in the Republican Democracy of uMbongo over FIFA throwing out the national football team from the Qualifying competition for the 2022 World Cup. The uMbongo manager apparently was caught in a compromising position with the wife of the opposition leader, Col. TumTum, and she in turn had been involved in a clandestine meeting with a FIFA official over financial irregularities when the team were due to play a friendly against Chaz, their northern neighbours. Chaz in turn had tried to bribe the FIFA official with uncut diamonds, which would have been okay, but they turned out to be cubic zirconia.

It's all rather convoluted, but Col. TumTum is accusing President Chumbawumba's administration of corruption and mishandling of the matter and the population of uMbongo want answers. They accept corruption... Its the getting caught that they don't like.

The BBC have sent Brian Thomas, their Central African correspondent, to report on the tense situation. More soon...

Enfilade 2021 is on for September 2 - 5th, 2021.
As for AK-47 Republic 6 players game I will be GM, it is filled by per-registration.Here my game description.
[size=120%]There an Ebola outbreak in central Africa state, but local warlord stops all relief efforts. UN has organizes multi-national force to go in and help. The Warlord has organizes his guard & local militia, call in ISIS for assistance and other bad actors. The Rumors that the Chinese and/or Russians....[/size]
I have been forced to streamline AK-47 Republic game system somewhat so that six players(never played it before) can complete it with the convention time limit. Shall including pictures later after the convention.

Streamlining for a show game is always A good idea I think.
The scenario sounds good.

Do be careful about using ISIS as a term, because some folk will be upset and protest.
AK is generic in order not to give  folk the opportunity to be  offended.
Careful not to give them the opportunity to take their hurt to the local press etc.

I did some of what I set out to do. Ran all five games, and received best of show for a period for AK-47 and Lion Rampant. I'm started to video record my first game somewhat, when I'm realizes that there was no way I could GM and video at the same time. But a good friend of mine, Bryan did an awesome video and here it is; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-SdADVEXsg

Nice Mediterranean buildings from the Drum. I have them for my Spanish Civil War collection.
