Range 17 "AK47 Republic"

Modern Africa and The Lebanon

Range 17 Generic Modern African wars 1960-1985 There is a set of rules from RFCM. ( "AK47 Republic") This range covers generic type armies and not named states or large armoured battles. In order to keep the descriptions of the figures and models clear and concise the letter M,R and P will be used . The Letter M indicates the figures are suitable for Militia/poor quality troops and will thus have poorer equipment and dress. R represents regular troops in the sense that they are full time soldiers, not that they are necessarily very good soldiers. They will have some uniformity and heavier weapons. p represents Professional troops such as south African army or mercenaries. Thus the pack labelled M AK47 Beret contains Militia armed with AK 47s and wearing berets as a distinguishing feature.

Militia
These troops are the backbone of the African armies. They are bareheaded and carry a limited amount of ammo and supplies. They expect to be supplied on a daily basis. They expect to fight in built up areas where they can seek cover and loot. Militia take on the habits of an armed mob when in combat. Militia will usually withdraw when faced with regular soldiers. They will evaporate if faced with professional soldiers. Militia will often wear bright or inappropriate clothing.

The other is the army type without the deep wading gear. The weapon mounts can be interchanged. These are in standard infantry priced packs.
