AK-47 Republic - Freedom Army of Mtumsia - Project Showcase

"All the soul of man is resolution, which in valiant men falters never, until their last breath."

My Independent Colonialist Army of  Free Mtumsia shortly Freedom Army of Mtumsia aka FAM is now completed! It took couple of years but its now basicaly over with worth of 600pts (depending on gear and unit quality) with AK-47 Republic Reloaded rules under the Colonial Settlers amy list. 

For those who dont now, the Mtumsia is imagination loosely based as what if separatist part of Rhodesia who refused the Lancaster House Agreement. Which gives me oportunity for mix of blacks and whites, western and eastern, modern and old weapons - anything that gold mines could buy without too much thinking if its "accurate". 

Long Live President-General Stephen Summertown! 

Gamewise unit ranks are easy to distinguish - Desert uniforms are for professionals, green for regulars and various colors for militias. 

For AFVs camo pattern, I took as inspiration Poland made T-55 which Soviets donated to Kuba for use in Angola during war with South Africa (#Welcome2Africa ) and its now displayed South African National Museum of Military History. I just loved the color combinations. 

The army was build in "three waves" which could be clearly seas on the various painting quality and different bases. 

All infantry models are metals from Peter Pig, as is T-55, Toyota and Humwee. The (captured) T-72 is from Zvezda plastic range. The rest of vehicles are Battlefront plastics from their Flames of War and Team Yankee ranges. And the Huey is of course Revell kit. 

Thats all for talking, now just enjoy the pics! Long Live Free Mtumsia!
