Munchkins

The 'Piglet' Armoured Car. Without doubt the smallest AC at the 2003 convention!

A Munchkin is a term of mild scorn for a Wargamer who plays the rules to win, and cares nothing for history, or study of the subject being gamed. Ak47 Gamers are on the whole, a cheerful bunch, with little regard for gamesmanship.

The first "Munchkin" model was built after a debate on the AK47 Discussion group about the advantages to be gained by having small or large tanks, and the smallest allowable base sizes. I decided to build a model to show what the effect would be, and the "Piglet" was born. The "Munchkin" and "Titan Terror Tank" soon followed. I had so much fun building them that my Munchkin collection is still growing. 

If the 'Munchkin' was the smallest tank on the day 2003 ...

The "Thin Munchkin" is the result of someone pointing out that if a tank is not based, it can be any width (you know who you are!) Watch this space, and if you expect to drive tanks through holes in the rules, then you had better be prepared to build one!

Then the 'Thin Munchkin' was the Thinnest.	....  Fat crews need not apply.

In 2007, a spirited discussion ran on the RFCM website about mortars. At one point, trailer-mounted mortars were mentioned. Knowing a little about mortar recoil, I built this:

One cannot quite see the hole that the mortar has punched through the bed of the trailer, but the state of the axle is quite plain. The crew are wondering why the shot has veered off to the right of the picture.
