I have one 20mm Platoon of Viet Ming and one 20mm Platoon of French Paras.

What should I do with them?

a) Hold them for a future sale.
b) Looking for a 1:1 rule system for Indochina for gaming them.
c) Get rid of them to someone else who collects 20mm Indochina forces.

I bought them as part of a deal on figures. I have plans to game 28mm Vietnam. I have no 20mm figures besides these. I'd rather get the 28mm Red Star Minis if I did French Indochina. That's more expense than I can currently handle right now.

Thanks,
Blake

b. Play with them using The Long Road South by Iron Ivan Games or use FNG by Two Hour War Games. The jungles and patties can be made fairly cheaply and easily and can also be used for 28mm scale as well. Later if you still want to switch to 28mm in Viet Nam, when you have more money then buy the 28mm at that point. You can sell the 20 mm minis and buy the 28mm minis when you switch. Play now though.

Hold them for when TooFatLardies release their Indo-China version of Chain of Command later this year.
Playtesting is in full swing.
