"Next Project: Firebase Gloria" Topic

Or a loose facsimile thereof:

Looks like a fun project to start.

[Sgt. Hafner carries two severed American heads] Anyone know who these belong to? This is Corporal Miller. He's dead. ****, the whole gun crew's dead. And to add insult to injury, Charlie took the fifty-******** caliber machine gun with him. I don't have any respect for Corporal Miller anymore, because he allowed his troops to relax. They let their guard down for five **** minutes, and Charlie took advantage of it. Look at 'em, ********! Pay attention. Stay alert! Stay alive! It's as simple as that!"

Good movie.

Definitely looks fun

I have always wanted to do a firebase scenario; what rules do you plan on using? Thanks….Mark

I have been working on my own small unit action system. The Vietnam version has a working title of "In Country." Units are squads but figures are mounted singly. Players command about a platoon each, maybe a bit more.

I want to do a night attack (Dien Bien Phu, but without painting up new armies!)

What scale is this? Looks great!

15mm

I need to find some 1/4 or 1/2" pink board to make the base. But for now I can at least move all the entrenchments from the "shelf of shame" to the "completed" pile.

They will be very useful, even without building the firebase terrain board proper.

What manufacturer/s do you plan to use for your ground pounders?

@EC You may want to consider Tu-Vu in 1951.

Cool stuff !!!

Thanks! Inspiring great work!

I already have the figs. I use 'em all. Old Glory, Flashpoint, Peter Pig and Battlefront. Probably some others mixed in there as I have bought painted stuff at flea markets and the like.
