AK47 Day 2021 - News and Announcements

Miles,

I like the way your army includes the evolution of UK tank development, Comet, Centurion and Chieftain.  The SADF used Comets and had some on charge as late as the 1970s iirc.

I can go one better than that with the Evolution of the British AFV since WW2.
My Collection of British government backed forces in Africa. Obviously not including the smaller vehicles supplied etc.

Nice tanks as always Miles.
Good job.
Those dinner plates you have put the tanks on need a good wash Miles

I've updated the front page with news that the AK day is now also sponsored by The Army Painter. They are sending a set of 6 paints and a masterclass brush to me to provide as another raffle prize

Just a reminder of the blog that I've been working on with uMbongan information for your delectation.

Sean,
Well done in getting the sponsorship from Geek Villain and Army Painter.

Do you know if there will a PP discount code for orders collected on the day?

Best wishes,
Martin Buck

[Sean Clark]

Not sure. I haven't asked because at times of pandemic it's all been a bit hard all round.

You're saving on postage though, so if you order anything heavy it works out as a big saving!

I'll let Martin give a definitive answer. What I would say, and this is to everyone, please use this opportunity to stock up on your Piggie figures for the winter painting campaign. Martin will bring along what you order and you can sit and marvel at them over lunch. You'll also be contributing to the the Weymouth economy, ensuring Peter Pig are awarded the local award for commerce. Think of it as an early Christmas present to yourself.

Order as much as you can folks!

[Jimmy James]

Good shout - will be making sure to get an order in ahead of the event!

Great work getting Army Painter onside to sponsor, mate.

Sean has sorted a 15% discount for orders collected on the day, collected on the day.

Warlords,

For your information, I've been made aware of a problem with the Geek Villain code. I'm sorting it out and will get back to you.

[Sean Clark]

Thank you to Martin for putting this on the Miniatures Page.

There is still time amd space for anyone as yet undecided or previously said they can't come, to come along and play. In fact right up until the last minute, entries will be open!

[Sean Clark]

OK... The Geek Villain code is only for their fleece mats, so won't work if ordering their cloth mats.

[martin goddard]

Their fleece masts really are excellent (i reckon)

Just some thoughts on the days logistics:

1. Its looking like we'll be using 6 tables and those who've stated they have cloths and scenery I'll be contacting towards the end of next week to confirm what they're bringing.

2. Please have a written version of your list available to show you're opponent. Some of you are more experienced than others with the rules, so this will help with clarity.

3. Please ensure you have with you dice, tape measure, relevant markers, play sheets and battle sheets. These last two Martin has kindly said he'll print off for us, but just in case of printer failure, have a back up.

4. I've asked Hammy if we can use a spare table for our own little bring and buy. However please beware that no one will be manning this and any items left will be at your own risk. Battlefield Hobbies, if they're OK with this, will accept no liability for lose or damage to items displayed.

5. Those on you with a camera, phone or otherwise, please take as many pictures as you can to record the event for posterity. If you can, be aware of whose pictures you take so that any future compilation of images can be properly accredited.

6. Get those orders in to Peter Pig as early as possible. We're very lucky to have a 15% discount and it would be great if as many of us as possible could make us of it! 

No doubt I'll be thinking of more things to add to this list, but if anyone has any thoughts, post them up here please.
