All,

So, yesterday I got a couple skirmish games in. They were WWII and I was lamenting the fact I had bought a bunch of Pendraken stuff for Vietnam but had never finished them, so, guess what I did today? Yup, and here's the proof. Please take a gander at my latest forces. I did a 'rush' paintjob, but they look as good as any I ever do, and I'm pretty happy with the the wash; not sure if it's factual, but I feel like I'm getting better.

Here's the whole force. I didn't quite go 0 to 60 today, all the figures had been cleaned, glued to popsicle sticks, and primed khaki. Today I painted them, based them, 'grassed' them, and washed them, and still need to hit them with matte spray. I must admit to being a bit scared as the temperature is getting up, humidity too, and the last thing I need is to turn these guys white…

So, what did I do? I did thirteen Americans, about twenty North Vietnamese Army (NVA), about a twenty civilians, porters, and water bulls, and a little over a dozen Viet Cong (VC).

Had to get me another dog team in.

Not the best picture, but how can you pass up the Dshk and an 82mm mortar? NVA of course.

Some civvies.

And some locals for Victor Charles.

There's about another 18 or so photos on the blog if you'd like to check it out:

I hope to get another game in tomorrow.

Nice work. What rules you using?

Thanks Saltflats. I'm using them for a set of rules I'm playtesting for Matt, AKA Invented Regiment, called "Some Corner of a Foreign Field."

V/R,

Dammit, I have a load of 10mm Vietnam stuff languishing in a box and I was quite happy to leave it there until I saw this :)
