25th May is International AK47 Republic Day, so I dug out my forces for a parade. Who knows, one day I might even get around to playing a game, but I need more infantry first.
Army number 1 is the Grand Army of Kalembeland, well-supplied with old Soviet surplus equipment (T-55 tanks, BTR-40 APCs), plus a few other oddments (Autoprotetto S,37s and a Toyota Hilux).
There are lots of reinforcements on the way, with just a few finishing touches needed - various transport vehicles (BTR-152s, BTR-70 APCs, BMP-2 IFVs, an MTLB) and scout cars (BRDM-2s and an anti-tank armed BRDM-1).
The BMPs and MTLB have plenty of stowage, 3d printed rucksacks (painted as civilan items), fuel cans, sculpted milliput tarpaulins and camp net.
The BTR-152s and BRDMs also have lots of stowage. Wheels still need to be painted.
My other army is a former colonial settler force, equipped primarily with old WWII British/Commonwealth vehicles, but with a few modern (i.e. 1960's) upgrades,
Morris CS8 15cwt trucks and Landrovers, plus a Toyota Hilux provide transport.
Well-armed jeeps act as technicals.
Centurion and Humber armoured cars provide some anti-tank punch.
Mortar crews.
Some added firepower that still needs another lick of paint - a pair of Staghound armoured cars.
