After years not being on Facebook, I took the plunge in 2021 and signed up, primarily due to the demise of the old Yahoo groups and their widespread migration to the platform, as well as the existence of new groups that I have an interest or involvement in. However, I'm now thinking of setting up a group myself, not for Bag the Hun as that's already up and running but for AK47 Republic, which I have been unable to find as an existing FB group.
This would be for both the 'classic' rules and also the subsequent Reloaded version, with space for photos, game reports, modelling tips and house rules, as well as spin off variants for other settings. It would hopefully complement the RFCM Forum, where much of this sort of thing can be found, but reaching out to a wider audience of AK47 enthusiasts in the way that FB seems to be able to do.
Good idea? Bad idea? What do you think? I'd be really interested to know. Thanks.
yeah great idea
ReplyDeleteIf there is not an official site, then why not. You can always close it when there's an issue or if there's an issue. Facebook does seem to have a reach that other vehicles do not have.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone on the RFCM forum was keen but then that's to be expected.
DeleteI think an AK-47 Republic Facebook group would be great! I don't know why no one started one before.
ReplyDeleteOne question, would you allow for scales other than 15mm to be played? I use the rules, but to play at 1/300 scale. Some groups that are about a particular rules system are very hung up on using the "correct" miniatures for games, others, not so much.
Of course..why not?
Deleteif you set one up, I'll send a few links to other groups at least.
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteget it set up mate, i got loads of material for it. written several scenarios for ak reloaded etc
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in joining. I have the original rules and wonder about the utility of upgrading....
ReplyDeleteSeeing pictures is usually inspirational to actually getting to work on the minis to play!
I'll give it some thought...I quite like the idea but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
