Gorgeous, and just what I DID NOT need to see! |

Looks like I'll be adding to my forces. Always wanted to use the mounted figures in a game. |

Vigilant, What rules do you use? I've always found it hard to get a good game in that conflict. |

Force on Force has a Bush Wars supplement. link
I will be picking these up – likely at Fall In.
Company B also has vehicles for the period. Eland Armored cars, a Pookie anti mine vehicle as well as other stuff link also available through Brigade brigadegames.3dcartstores.com and Brigade has a sale on right now (I do work the brigade booth at conventions) |

Jlundberg, I have a copy of Bush Wars, as well as B'Maso from TFL, Point Blank from Iron Ivan and FNG from Two Hour Wargames. I am fascinated by the era, yet always have a hard time gaming it successfully. |

I wish some company would make helicopters for Vietnam in this scale. Nicely done guys. |

I have a diecast Huey for Vietnam. It is 1/48 or so, but works for medevac on the ground. I use a 1/72 gunship for air support. The smaller size helps with perspective issues
On a side note, I keep trying to sell my Vietnam stuff, but get no takers. Nick
Since it is asymmetrical and the kill ratios are ridiculously one sided, the typical scenario does not work. I did a modern Force on Force at Historicon (Zombies thrown in for fun) and the victory conditions were set up such that the terrorists won the game, but got slaughtered since their lab was secure and they never lost control of the hostage. As gamers we want to see battlefield victories, but in a lot of this stuff it really does not work for insurgents to be able to "win." Winning is more about inflicting casualties and withdrawing before the overwhelming force hits you.
Spectre miniatures also has a range of African figures and small scale rules |

Which makes it very hard to convince anyone to play the Terrs. Not like WWII Pacific, where the Japs will will or lose at all costs. |

A welcome addition to what is an outstanding range of sculpts! Note also that Osprey are releasing an new Elite: RLI. |

Jon, I would prefer to have the Vietnam helicopters in 1/56 to go with the 28mm figures that I have for Vietnam. After they are doing that for this range so why not have some company do it for Vietnam. |

The Force on Force campaign rules suggest that you swap off playing your first world command and the terrorists. Each taking turns getting hammered and doing the hammering. Joe
I will pass on your thoughts to Company B. |
