And so it begins!!!

Some of you already know what and where Bongolesia is and that is a good thing. As for the rest of you, I suggest that you click on this link so that you can learn all about this little slice of heaven, as described in loving detail by its creator, Murph.

Back so soon? Did you read it all? There will be a quiz, so I hope you paid attention...

The point of this blog (amazingly it actually does have a point...) is to give some pointers on bringing Bongolesia to the Battlefield: Evolution game system. The first thing to consider is the fact that BF:Evo is a pre-painted game with four distict factions, so we have to figure out how to break this down.

First up is the National Defence Force. The best thing to represent them is the PLA; the equipment of the PLA is all fairly generic with nothing to advanced compared to the other factions, so it only makes sense for them to be the protectors of the homeland.

You can't have a third world nation without someone to fight against, so next up is BARF. Of the factions in BF:Evo, the MEA is the only way to go. Their equipment is very basic and in some cases hastily improvised, making them the perfect choice to represent the Rebels. Incidently, the MEA also works well for both the Oingo Boingo Cult and the Lions of Allah.

What would a third world country be without the UN poking around all the time? The world may never know... but I do know that the EFTF is the perfect fit for the UN forces stationed in Bongolesia. The EFTF will have access to various units from different nations, making them just like the real UN, so it only makes sense that they would be in Bongolesia keeping an eye on the humanitrian needs of the people involved. That's right. Humanitarian. The oil that was just found in Bongolesia has nothing to do with it...

And since everyone else has pulled into town for the party, it only makes sense that the US Marines show up to keep everyone in line. After all, someone has to protect the oil...

So that gives you some kind of an idea who is involved in this block party. Next comes filling it up with stuff to fight over (and around and through...) More on that soon.
