AK47 Ztum Setum is Back!


This is where I first discovered the crazy world of AK47:Republic. If you haven't seen this site before you have missed out, as it is full of inspiration for factions, units, vehicles and terrain, a lot of which is bashed together from diecast toys and spare parts from other 15mm projects. I have gone on to have many really hilarious games of AK47 and have two whole armies as a result, one Dictatorship and one Superpower Backed.

It reminds me that I really should paint that Colonial Settlers army that I based up years ago, or even put together a People's Popular Front army with all the leftover bits I have accumulated. I certainly should do some more terrain and ad hoc units either way, as I've been promising to sort out some decent 15mm African battlefield scenery for ages.

Anyway, if you get the time, why not pop over and take a look: https://ak47ztumsetum.wordpress.com/

    Will definitely check it out! Thinking about it, I might repurpose my 15mm VBCW as an AK47 army ... hmm sounds like a plan to me!

    You could easily convert AK47 to VBCW actually. I had a go at converting it for the German Revolution and did a couple of flow charts. There are variants for the SCW and RCW too.

    When I was thinking of doing VBCW in 15mm, I thought of calling the AK47 variant Brumgun'38. It would be easy to adapt the faction lists to VBCW e.g. colonial settlers = regular army, dictatorship = fascist dictatorship, people's popular front = communist / nationalist, religious movement = separatist etc etc.
