Has anyone done army list for Aussies in Vietnam? I have figures and vehicles in 15mm for the Battlefront issues but I somehow seem to have accumulated the approximate equivalent in Australians! ;-)> Probably because that's when the Australian government gave me an 18 month free tour of the Australian Eastern seaboard. |

This might be useful (Australian list starts on p.17):

Had a quick bo-peep at the list. Australia never deployed Leopards to Vietnam (got them in 1976), only Centurions. Artillery was also Aus and Kiwi 105mm guns and US SPG. Standard infantry weapon was the L1A1 SLR (with some L1A2 for sustained fire) and the M60 machine gun (maybe some Bren guns). Scouts (not SMG teams) occasionally substituted Owen/F1/M16 for the SLR (individual choice). RAAF also deployed Canberra bombers and Caribou transport (plus the Qantas transports). |

Is Scott still on this list or does someone have an email contact for him? I can see that this list is as per the old way that BF did their FOW Vietnam lists. |

Bit of patience, I'm sure you will hear news from BF soon that will make you happy |

Yes… BF will release the next Vietnam supplement around Feb, 2013. |

Gents, Siege Works Studios has a large range of Aussies in Vietnam as part of our 15mm Vietnam range. We have HQ, Rifle, Mortar, Gun, Assault Pioneer and SAS platoons. The Anzac range has over 59 individual sculpts. We also have dog teams as well. PLease email drew if you are looking for Siege Works updated pricelist. drew@siegeworksstudios.com I am also developing lists for the ANZACS currently as part of our Vietnam Company rules. If you are interested please email above for more info. Oh by the way the Leopards never participated in Vietnam, they were introduced after the Vietnam War. Scott's lists aer great but are not always accurate. Still a very good effort on his part. :) |

If I have read correctly the Siegeworks crew bought out the Flashpoint miniatures and you can see them here link They look excellent. Need more pictures of the range though Drew! :) |
| Fotherington Thrip | 20 Aug 2012 5:25 p.m. PST |

Hi Fotherington, I have loads of pics of Anzacs on the Facebook page, (forgive my rather less than fabulous photography skills) link When the new website finally is launched there will be loads more there as well. Keep looking on the page for more Special forces pics soon to go up on the page in the next 2 weeks. Green Berets and LRRPS will soon be up there. PLease email us for the latest price catalogue. Oh and by the way because we are relaunching the website, the prices on the old website are not always correct. So please ask for the new catalogue and order direct. Anzacs rifle platoons for example are only $25.00 AUD now and not $27.00 AUD. Yes prices have actually come down on many of the items in stock. :) |

Those TOEs look wonky to me. US mech company have platoon leaders in M577s? Those were only used for battalion staff. |

Rumours from Battlefront are ANZACs and Chinese tanks are coming soon for Vietnam. |
thinks Mark's work is among the best available for all-around gaming and painting.
