Apparently Micheal Mann will make a mini series based on Mark Bowen's Hue 1968 book.
Let's hope Mann's influence for authenticity will be seen in the series. |

Let's just hope he includes the NVA mass murders and doesn't just gloss it over. |

What scale?  |
| VCarter | 08 Jul 2019 2:47 p.m. PST |
28mm of course: link And I'm really looking forward to someone posting some comparison to other ranges after they see them at Historicon. |

BTW – the book looks excellent. |

I kept hearing the book was excellent as well. Just to give a counter point- I thought it was good but thought it slow in some parts. Still worth the read but glad I got it from the library. Maybe with all the hype I set my expectations too high. YMMV Joe |

Let's just hope he includes the NVA mass murders and doesn't just gloss it over. +1 … And don't forget the executions of Catholic Nuns by the VC … Hope to see the mini-series !
What scale? 6mm of course ! 
BTW there is a great board game about Hue. I have it and played it many times. link

Don't hold your breath VCarter and Legion 4. But I would like to see those things too. I hope I am wrong. But this is Hollywood. Tom |

Films and TV series are not usually able to go into sufficient depth to hold my interest. They tend to start at a very basic level and all the while have to be 'entertaining' at the same time. I may watch a little and see if I am pleasantly surprised. But I won't be waiting with baited breath. |

I hope I am wrong. But this is Hollywood. Generally yes… But documentaries by e.g. Ken Burns, like his ACW and Vietnam series are very much the exception. |
