Dave was recently asking me for an inventory of my AK47 collection, which has to be admitted were mostly originally produced by him and John - as far as I can remember. After much procrastination I eventually went up into the loft and recovered the four boxes of figures!
Here is the collection laid out, there seems to have been 3 forces put together, the Yellows and Oranges, plus a small group of Reds and my own small contribution of 'uncoloured' figures. Additionally there is a motley collection of various vehicles, to which I contributed quite a few, that can be used by side in these scenarios.
THE YELLOWS
As might be expected all of these units have their stands 'flagged' with yellow rear corners.
|
Almost all of the Yellow Team on display - see below! I missed one of the yellow units that was in another box... |
|
The wayward unit.. These guys with yellow berets appear to be regulars, with a smattering of mercenaries within their ranks. |
|
The bulk of the Yellow forces, lower grade regulars or militias. |
|
A bit of a close-up on another Militia unit |
|
And again on another unit |
|
Yellow Mortar teams |
|
Yellow Recoilless Rifle team |
|
Three Yellow HMG Teams |
|
And finally some more Yellow Berets |
Yellow Inventory
57 x Infantry Stands
5 x Mortar Stands
3 x HMG Stands
2 x Recoilless Rifle Stand
THE ORANGES
Similar to the Yellow team, all of these units have their stands 'flagged' with orange rear corners.
|
The Orange Team laid out and arrayed on the table |
|
Blue Beret, professionals |
|
What appears to be regulars and/or Militia units |
|
Weapons teams, in front of the Blue Berets |
|
More Weapons Teams |
|
Regular Orange Infantry Teams |
|
A fairly large number of Revolutionary Guards teams, in distinctive khaki uniforms |
|
And finally more Weapons Teams |

51 x Infantry Stands
6 x Mortar Stands
8 x HMG Stands
2 x Recoilless Rifle Stand
1 x Auto-Cannon Stand
THE REDS
Again all of these units have their stands 'flagged' with red rear corners, as can be seen, this is a much smaller team, that can presumably be allied (or be a locally raised mercenary force) with either the Yellows or Oranges...
|
A small but perfectly formed Red Team! |
|
A regular Red infantry team |
|
Green Berets, elite forces |
|
And a few Heavy Weapons teams in front of some more regulars |
Red Inventory
15 x Infantry Stands
6 x Mortar Stands
1 x HMG Stands
1 x Recoilless Rifle Stand
THE 'UNCOLOURED'
These are Mike W's contribution to the collection, as can be seen by his distinctive basing technique!
|
Again a very small force with a base from either John or Dave's contributions that missed it's coloured tags, now acting as a command stand. |
'Uncoloured' Inventory
12 x Infantry Stands
2 x Recoilless Rifle Stands
THE VEHICLES & OTHER STUFF
All of these can be assigned to any team, according to scenario needs, shown in no particular order...
|
Heliport with Warlord / President arriving to bard helicopter, all covered by local TV crew. Note the two standard bearers - to provide focal point for either the Yellow or Orange teams! |
|
Another Helicopter |
|
A moltey group of vehicles. A Russian made jeep, an M113, a South African ATV, another Russian Armoured Car and finally another unknown Armoured Car |

Five Armoured Cars, two MG armed, three with significantly more firepower! |

|
Eight ubiquitous Uni-Mogs, for transporting troops |
|
Four Armoured Cars, converted by Dave from old Dinky Toys, believe these represent ex-British Army AFVs. |
|
Three US built and possibly dodgy supplied M48 Pattons |
|
Five Transport Tucks, in Cammo finish, two carrying Recoilless Rifles, sourced by Mike W, from cheap kids toy sets |
|
As above but painted Drab Green |
