Sniper & AK-47 Republic

Exploring the Appendix N of the roleplaying game Revolution Comes to the Kingdom. This episode is about the 1993 film Sniper and the miniatures wargame AK-47 Republic.  Since the time of recording, I have watched a further Sniper sequel – Sniper: Assassin's End, Berenger-yes, Zane-no installment of the series. It is, rated on a scale of one to ten, fine. I have also figured out how to buy a proper PDF of AK-47 Republic, and done so.  Links:  My "Films that are better than you would think" list https://letterboxd.com/coalhada/list/films-that-are-better-than-you-would-think/ PDF ordering page on the website of Peter Pig, publisher of AK-47 Republic: https://www.peterpig.co.uk/pdf%20rules.html  Siskel & Ebert's review of Sniper (the relevant segment starts at 11m06s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z30KHY8ROvc&t=665s
