Santa brought me my copy of AK-47 Republic today.
I also got a pack or two of Generalissimo Dictator figures. One of them is seated, as if he is riding in a staff car or a stretch limo. Who makes a suitably impressive (and armored) car splendid enough for Himself? |

They will of course see double duty as Junta players.  |

Papi Mpongo likes to ride around in a QRF GAZ, but then he doesn't need any armour as his juju is bullet proof:

And at the weekends he prefers his personal mini-sub:

A convertible is much more practical, and befitting of a truly brave dictator. Think of the possibilities……. |

I have LOTS of jeeps, naturally. However, while a fine vehicle for a Man of the People, it is understandable that The People would prefer he be better protected. |

Battlefront has all sorts of open-topped cars and halftracks. SdKfz 7s and 10s, Kubelwagen/Schwimmwagen, Kfz15s, Steyr Kfz70, (nothing really good in the Italian section except the AS42), India Pattern Carriers, Cut-down 15cwt trucks, Jeeps, DUKWs, M3/M5 halftracks, M3A1 scout cars, M20 armored cars, Dodge 3/4ton, Dodge 1 1/2 ton, Laffly S20TL… I'd go for the Laffly S20TL or the Steyr 1500 Kfz70, for 'classic' vehicles. |

No armored car will stop an RPG, or plastique attached to the gas tank, so the added armor is a bit of a waste in my humble opinion. |

Start digging through the Matchbox and HotWheels. In military miniatures I'd look for one of those 3 axle German staff cars |

The other option is to hit up Hot Wheels/Matchbox for a limo, Suburban, or maybe even a stretched Hummer. |

BF have an Italian car and some of the newer AS37s may suit. |

Jorje 'El Leon' Mufasa, leader of BudWinesia has a silver 911 porche with a hot topless blond chick (preiser) as chauffer. Man knows how to live ! |

John it is really not bad for him to ride around in a jeep. Mine does and if you do not like it you an eat lead from the .50 Cal Mg it is sporting. |

Those ships would be awesome for the "admiral" of the Navy in a Junta game. |

Check out Brekina or Wiking models on Ebay, all sorts of modern types, including convertables |

I'm sorry, but anything but a black Mercedes says second class tin-pot dictator. |

Frap's President Boyo has one of these
It is a Peter Pig Merc gone topless – it is for show … he tends to switch to his M113 command centre when the bullets start flying … Phil

Looks great for replicating those timeless JFK moments. |

What was it the sons of one recent dictator used to do?
One showed up in a T-55. Not to be utdonoe, the oldest took to flying around in a Mi-8, haranging people with a bullhorn. So maybe not limit yourself to what Da Boss cruises in but don't neglect his entourage or the fruits of his loins. |
