Possible leagues for PA of the Apes

 A sample list for the game, but only too  happy if someone else wants to create some leagues.

The figure breakdown is kind of fixed as I only have so many figures. Available groupings are:

  • 2 male chimps, 1 female chimp and 1 five figure gorilla gang.
  • 2 male gorillas, 3 five figure gorilla gangs
  • 2 male orangutans, 1 gorilla, 1 gang of five gorillas 
  • 3 humans and 3 gangs of five human figures
  • 3 male astronauts and 1 female astronaut

I also have 6 mounted gorillas, 1 that would be a leader type while the other 5 could be a gang.

For now, here are three leagues for review.

  1. In as much as I used to like the chimp characters in Planet of the Apes, the gorillas could be fun to use. However, perhaps the orang politicians plus gorillas could make for another interesting league...
