MIG-15 Card for African Gruntz

I decided to make an attempt at incorporating a MIG-15 into African Gruntz.  I really wanted to simulate strafing runs, with a chance of being deterred or even shot down by anti-aircraft fire.  I think this should work, it is limited use and should add another interesting element to the game.  I also updated the African Gruntz cards that I have already made, fixing mistakes that I have found.

Here is the card.

Keep on Truckin ... 15mm Truck with ZPU-1 & DShK

I finished up a 15mm flatbed truck.  I think it is a 2.5 ton Old Glory miniature with a Peter Pig ZPU-1 team, and a Battlefront DShK.  I added caps to the crew so they fit in with the Peter Pig Hardened Militia that I have already painted.  I also added the DShK and made a few extra boxes of ammo for the ZPU-1.

Here is what I was attempting to create.

Here are the finished conversions.

Here is the truck without weathering.  I primed black, airbrushed a base coat of brown, built up the desert look.  Here are the paints I used.

Here is the weathered look.

Here is the final product.

  Working on a helicopter, and I still need to get a post with the professionals.

Here is the Gruntz Africa card.

15mm Modern Africa with Gruntz

We play in a group that usually has 5-8 participates in an evening.  We need to get everyone a command, finish in three hours, and have fun.  This means a convention style game every Thursday and finding rule sets that fit these parameters can be a challenge.  We attempted Force on Force, it was fun but seemed to bog down with the number of commands we need.  Are latest effort was using Gruntz, where each stand represented 1 Grunt.  We had a lot of fun and the game worked well for our group.  I think the Baron will put up a battle report on his blog.   I spent of bunch of time making new stat cards, so here they are.  Note I made these in Photoshop, and they are supposed to be 2.5" x 3.5" and that is how they look in MS Word, but here they seem a bit bigger.

Militia

I did many Google image searches to find the various pictures, I liked the Congo rebel wearing the wig, smoking, with a slung RPG the most of anything I found.

 

    On the 2nd African Militia card, I added a Perk.

Professionals

 

The sniper team has two perks, I am hoping we can read the small text during the game.

 

 

And last some extras.  The transport is universal and I have not painted a T-55 yet, so it was just an experiment in playing with the values to see if a tank would work in the game.

I am sure there are errors in there somewhere, but it is better than what the online Gruntz card generator could give me.  My professionals are done and I am working on some Land Rovers and a large flatbed truck.
