Hundvig Fezian is not a real big fan of pre-painted minis, and he positively despises randomly-packed "collectable" ones - so why is he writing this article?

What is actually meant when talking about a 2-man NVA bunker?

In particular, what typically would such a bunker look like if it was positioned to cover a jungle trail?

Who makes them for 28mm Miniatures?

I have the Skirmish Elite:Screaming Eagles at Hamburger Hill scenarios booklet and a 2-man bunker is mentioned in its A Walk in the Sun chapter.

Thank you

Thanks Skarper, that's a handy reference link you've provided.

I now think that a two-man bunker, as opposed to individual fox-holes from your link, means a two man team like a machine gun or, in the scenario, a RPG team.

With that in mind, the rear must surely be open to prevent injury upon firing the piece – therefore, what I should be looking for is a protected wall structure, probably constructed with logs and camouflaged.

That link on bunkers is fascinating and invaluable. The A frame tepee bunker I remember from the film "Hamburger Hill"….nice bit of research by them
