AK47 Day 2021 - News and Announcements

[Sean Clark]

HI John,

Knowing where Daventry is meets the sole requirement for entry. All the rest is optional.

There are plenty of spare armies although don't let stop you buying your own. You can source figures from the same place as the AK47 Reloaded rules. I hear they're quite nice.

As for AK46, they were rubbish. They used WRG base sizes and you'd get +1 for AK47 armed foot v Elephants. Seemed a bit unfair to me.

I'll add you to the list as a definite maybe.

Sean,
Really not sure about this. Should I wait for Martin to bring out AK48 later this year?
Mike

AK48 is not out until the day before the games Mike.
It will only change the shooing , movement and morale rules though.
Possibly introduce the use of D9 dice too.
Just road bumps (?)


John, as October is so far away I am sure we can get together for a couple of games.
Maybe Miles can be imposed upon to host?

Mike,

I've managed to pick up a top secret draft of AK49 which was accidentally left at a bus stop. It involves flying saucers as well as D9's. I wouldn't touch it with a swagger stick.

Shall I add you to the list?  Just Dorchester Bede (Chris) to rope in and it'll be nearly a full house!

I ve already sent an invention to John to use and maybe burrow the whole or part of an Army , and to play a few games too ? Possibly might be able to persuade Martin over and refresh his mind on how to play the game ?
Now my Palm trees are nearly done I have plenty of trees for the scenery ? Might have re done some scenery pieces now I have more appropriate grasses and paints for Mediterranean/African/Mexico type areas.

uMbongo has a wide range of of terrain from tropical jungle to arid and dry savanna. From urban to rural. From coastal to Highlands. Something for everyone!

[Colonel Kilgore]

That's good to know, Sean.

And presumably the country - even if it no longer appears in Lonely Planet guides - features a variety of architecture: from tribal huts and adobe blocks in the desert, to houses on stilts in the jungle, to Colonial-style edifices in the big cities too?

You have that Richard Burton look Mike, with a 'Stirling' thrown over the shoulder your well away.

Need to find an old Dakota for the jungle get away over the border.

And if you miss the flight home, we'll obviously have to shoot you...

Julian,
That is a powerful clip  - you can be in charge of discipline if you like.

I have met a few blokes from Belgium..... they can kick a football as well.
Sadly, most of them have left Tottenham, eh Dave?

Sean can I put down a good friend of mine.
Neil Houlton (TBC) should know for sure in the next few days. So if you could pencil him in please ?
He is a man of the cloth, but at the moment his diary is free, but he has to check with his good lady etc.
Many thanks
Miles

[Sean Clark]

Brilliant Miles. The response so far is way beyond my expectations!

[Colonel Kilgore]

Congratulations to you, Sean, in generating so much interest.

With all this Covid misery, I think we must all have realised that we needed a good old-fashioned coup to spice things up a bit!
