"South Vietnamese for Ambush Valley" Topic

Are you planning to field any South Vietnamese forces for your Ambush Valley gaming?

* yes
* no
* not interested in Ambush Valley
* what's Ambush Valley?

Yes

Yes, when I finish my Australians…

Yes, and hopefully by the time I do Elheim will have expanded his one squad into a decent sized range.

I could be interested in fielding some South Vietnamese forces – but after I put together the last of my VC and then finish the NVA and look at other troops.

Not interested in Ambush Valley. I own them, but I am using another rule set i.e. Disposable Heroes Point Blank.

Not really interested in 'Marvin the ARVN'.

RoKs, Aussies, and the various US forces, you bet.

Not interested in Ambush Valley. Robert

Ive got a full Mike force Platoon ,and a full ARVN ranger Platoon . I am tempted to do a national police field force platoon tho

Yep, Mike Force Platoon and regular ARVN Army platoon early war. Later war when I can.

Thanks,

Good old Marvin the Arvn.
We did a large Fall of Saigon game some years back.

I like the idea of the NPFF as well. Any ideas on figures however? For 1/72, I had thought of the IMEX Korean War range or Waterloo 1815 Marines. Seems hard to match VN era uniforms with WW2 era weapons (let alone berets)

I would like to, but I'm not there yet – it's not my first priority.

Eventually.

Whilst I don't play Vietnam now (but did in past) I've always had a soft spot for the ARVN and seems a shame that when the war was fought in their country, that they are so under-represented figure wise etc (when I did do it all my figures were ARVN Rangers in 20mm using Platoon 20 figures – now passed on to my 6 year old son who had them out this very day for a HG Wells type game!).

Waterloo 1815 Marines?

--------------------
?? – were they equipped with muskets – were there Marines at Waterloo – or is Waterloo 1815 a brand (that hopefully never makes a Waterloo 1815 range as it will then get very confusing!)

Eventually but they are low on the priority list.

Waterloo 1815 is a manufacturer. FYI.

I used the Airfix US Marines for my ARVN. They are early War troops. They are smaller than regular 1/72. ARVN figs are not made in large numbers.

Thanks,

Yes have south vietnamese, but won't be using Ambush Valley.

Not for Ambush Valley, but I will do them for another set of rules I recently began playing. So, I guess my answer would hover somewhere around "No" and "Not interested in Ambush Valley".
