The PDF version of the new People's Edition of AK-47 is now out and I've got myself a copy to see what it's like. First impressions are that this is definitely not the old 'classic' version with a few more army lists, nor is it the much maligned Reloaded version despite having some definite similarities, but a new set of rules drawing on the best bits of both and a good dollop of other RFCM rules, especially Square Bashing et al. I need to read through the rules properly but I'm thinking that it will be a relatively big job to get everything prepped for an actual game, especially on the terrain front, so I'm going to leave it until next year before getting to grips with the work required. It's even got me thinking about a change of scale to 10mm or even 6mm, both of which are included as options in the rules, just so I can try out the system before I take the plunge from 'Classic' to People's Edition in 15mm.
Curious about your 10mm comment. What is the rationale?
ReplyDeletePrimarily cost and space but also quicker to paint...for me at least.
ReplyDeleteWhy not try it out with some card counters first to get a feel for a new version combined with a new scale?
