Private Noob's first game

Welcome to Private Noob!  Private Noob has never played with miniatures but has been curious, so I invited him over for a game.  The situation:  A Superpower's Attack Helicopter has crash-landed in the no-man's land between two rival insurgent groups. 

And both groups want to have an attack helicopter!

The game was a nice excuse to get out my 28mm Ak 47 stuff.

And these guys too.  This was an ebay purchase from a while back.  I think these figs are great.  It is transactions like this that make ebay such a temptation and a danger.

The last technical surrenders.

Used a mash of 3rd Ed. 40k with Force on Force reactions and Ak 47 randomness.  It worked very well, although I think it was a bit too much for a newbie's first game.   Oh well, I hope he'll play again.

An Unnamed Skirmish

I was originally planning an AK 47 game in 20mm for tonight, but suddenly it just had to in 28mm. 

The Clone-Droid Alliance attempts to spread its influence...

Oh, this Hailfire droid!

AK 47 in 28mm

Last night I painted two trucks.  Two dollar store treasures turned into 28mm AK47 transport.    Yes, I've been slowly putting together yet one more Ak 47 army, in yet one more scale.  I am a huge fan of the AK 47 game.   Both The Republic and The Reloaded versions.  (And the Lebanon supplement.)  All great and very different gaming experiences.   Anyway, I first bought the rules in 2002 to play in 6mm.  Well, I was in, and then came the 15mm forces.   And then the 20mm.  And now it is time to try it in 28mm.

The force is growing, and I thought it would be cool to document its progress over the next couple of months.  The figures are a mix of Mo-fo (on the left) and TAG (on the right).  Very nice characterful miniatures that paint up well and fast.

Solo outing on one of the Pan African Union Planets

Really felt like a quick shoot'em up last night.  And since the table was still set up from the FUBAR game with the Major, I liberated my Framalias from their case and invited them out to play.  I love these figures.  (Britannia Somalis)
