[PREORDER] PIG17000 - AK47 REPUBLIC PEOPLES EDITION (3RD ED.)

Product Description

Period of Warfare covered
War in Africa 1955 to 1990.

Peter Pig games always cover a narrow period in order to capture that period. Thus the most important aspects of that war can be modelled and the less important ones piled into the general mechanisms.

Scale
Each square = 120 metres.

Each model figure represents 6 real soldiers. Each model vehicle represents 3 real vehicles.

Game setting
Army versus army defence/attack games.

Associated Peter Pig range
Range 17 - AK 47 republic. Range 08 - WWII has suitable items too.

Peter Pig always makes sure that the necessary stuff to play the game is available.

Game scenario generator
Players share 36 D6 into 5 scenario categories (no you don’t need 36 D6). For each category players roll against each other and one player wins the category by 1,2,3 or 4.

This will generate 1,2,3,4 tokens

• Leader (extra action points tokens)
• Men (extra ability to assault tokens)
• Equipment (Better hits tokens)
• Cause (better morale tokens)
• Random (various,   including minefield, sirocco, bush fire) .

Player with higher token total wil choose who attacks/defends.

Game table size
5 by 3 feet . Gridded into 6 inch squares. 

Peter Pig games should fit on a normal living room table.

How much scenery needed
6 of  6x12" templates per player. Players do get  choice over scenery piece types. In PP games both players take a full part. No alpha player choosing the armies, scenery, scenario and victory conditions.  

Peter Pig games use templates to represent scenery areas. The trees and houses are indicative, not literal. Players could avoid using templates and just place appropriate scenery in squares.

How many D6 needed
15 D6 in total. Typically need 5D6 for shooting and 7 D6 for fights.

Piggy games allow a bunch of D6 to be rolled in order to bell curve the outcomes i.e. results group around the norm but extremes are possible.

Measurement method
Grid system. 6" squares. You could measure in multiples of 6" if grids are an anathema?

If measuring has to be very accurate, time is wasted and cheating/errors can occur.

Basing convention
Base size is not imperative, because it is a grid system.

Peter Pig rules use 3x3 cm bases for most troop types. This size is tactile. has the same frontage when turned and allows figure formations to have depth as  well as width. 3x3 cm bases for 2,3 or 4 figures.

Typical army composition
Typical per army= 3 foot units each of 10 bases.  Bases can include heavy weapons.   3 units of vehicles (tanks, AC, guns, Technicals) in pairs.  General.

Most PP games use about 100 figures a side. enough for PP to make some big sales and not too many to paint.
