AK47 Day 2021 - News and Announcements

[Smiley Miley 66]

Must admit it sounds like you could be watching a BBC program "Death in Paradise"  with the French and British influence, near to the fishing village ?

I think the next episode of Death in Paradise is due to be filmed there.

John,

The UFF live to fight another day. Long live the banana! Their freedom cry of "Down with capatilism and the Quarter Pounder" resounds around the streets of Kalabya 😊

I'll add this to the original post, but I'm not sure if modifying a post lets other people know it's been modified! But Hammy at Battlefield Hobbies will be adding the AK day to his events calendar in the next few days. He will also be handling payment through the Battlefield Hobbies website, similar to the Square Bashing days.

The link will be in the original post of this thread, but is here also!

I can officially announce that Geek Villain are supporting the AK day. They are providing a gaming mat in a suitably dusty African style that we will use on the day.

Once we finish, a lucky participant will be walking away with it! On entering the competition on the day you will be given a raffle ticket. If your number is drawn - it's yours!

Also, Geek Villain will be providing a 10% discount to all participants closer to the day of the event. Watch this space for more details.

That's great news, Sean. I've just been to their site, and they do some nice stuff.

I realise this isn't relevant for AK47, but have you had any discussions with them about adding grids / dots, to make them more directly suitable for other PP rulesets, and thus the wider audience of this Forum?

You're in and welcome! Let me know which army type you're intending to use. Nothing that can't be changed later, but we're looking for as wide a spread as possible across the 15 available.

Hi Sean - put me down for Colonial Settlers please?

But if that's already bagged let me know and will have a think. Have just had a copy of the Reloaded rules delivered and it's quite a different game to the original I''ve played previously, sure I'll get my head round it though

A geek villain mat would be very nice.
Being 6x3 makes the AK table very different.
I would find it too difficult to use a  6x4 and ignore a 1ft strip (psychologically not physically).

Martin, for the purposes of the day, it will stay as a 6x4 mat and marked off so we have a 6x3 playing area. A piece of masking tape down one side is easy enough to apply. Then whoever wins the mat can choose what to do with it afterwards.

Simon, I've not asked specifically about grids, but they are currently unable to do sizes other than those offered.

Although several mats are showing as out of stock, they tell me they are reprinting today and all mats will be available for sale as of tomorrow.

Jimmy,

Miles has opted for Colonial Settlers. Have a look at the others. If it is none take your fancy, it's not a problem. It would be nice to have all the armies/factions/warbands (😜) represented, but if we get 16 or more players, there will have to doubles of some armies anyway.

[Sean Clark]

Here is the mat that will be raffled off.

[Sean Clark]

My intention is to make a custom set of scenery  to match the mat. This scenery will be part of the prize too.

[Stewart 46A]

that's a great offer Sean, thanks for making a great day out what ever the result

Ah - it's all there in the first post isn't it... White Colonialists then? How's that - really looking forward to this!

[Sean Clark]

Excellent link. I've started to add pictures from everyone and their posts to the blog - though the text is appearing wierd. No time to sort it at the moment.

[Sean Clark]

Payment option is now up on the Battlefield Hobbies link in the first post of this thread.

I can't seem to link to the actual event, just the Event homepage, so you'll have to scroll through to October where our day is listed.

Those who have said they are coming, please grab you tickets ASAP to show to Battlefield that this is a valid event. They have allocated 20 tickets to us, so plenty of room for everyone 😊
