That is the BEST looking Vietnam game I have ever seen.
Questions:
1. What figures are those you were using for VC and US forices?
2. Is everything 20MM even the copters?
3. Who makes those great huts? Thanks. |

P.S. – Excellent photography also. |

Thanks for the compliment, WarWiz, but Im sure there are better Nam games out there! My inspiration comes from a mate in the UK whose Nam collection is a quality that makes ours look decidedly average in comparison! But Im my own worst critic… :-) 1 – Figures are mainly Britannia with a few Liberation, Platoon 20, RAFM and Qualiticast. All mix well together. 2 – Yup – All 20mm. 3 – Huts are from Airfix, Britannia and a few 'unknowns' picked up on Ebay. |

That table board is inspiring! Well done. What did you use for the brown water river? |

Several of the 'unknown' huts are from 'The Square'…..I got some too!!
Great looking gear on the table……ex-Archer Models PACV?
I want one!!!! (probably more than one really…) |

The river is thanks to my wife… Its a double bed sheet that she found the day before the event in a local shop, as as usual, she came to the rescue. This then had mats cut out from grass Mat-O-War placed on top of it with a bit of sand from Blackrock beach! Yup… The old OOP Archer PACV… Pretty hard to get these days. |

You lucky dog! Everyone wants one of them. I'd keep your home address a secret! I didn't realise the Mat-O-War mats were so thick. That's brilliant. I've used plain bown "butchers paper" as a base for rivers, and then put cut MDF over it (having to sand and angle the river banks, pain in the butt). Your way is muuuuch easier. |

Darby, It was the easiest solution I could come up with for transporting the game. The whole game fits into five boxes and a figure case! I would love purpose built scenery but its just not practicable till our club has sorted its storage issues… But I think we did ok with a bed sheet and some bits of mat! |
says he's pretty happy with these babes...
