Me, Myself and I

A few updates to my 15mm US moderns...been quite bust recently with uni work that haven't had the time to do any painting at all...but have recently just got a hell of a lot of coursework out of the way and fancied a bit of light relief until other deadlines start creeping up on me so I thought I'd crack on with these guys... Just to fill you in on where all the bits have come from: - Humvees from Irish Serb, excellent models and good price (though I believe Peter Pig do some now as well, something that they were lacking when I was shopping) - Troops and vehicle crews from Peter Pig (the crews are converted) - Aircraft are 1/144 scale plastic kits bought on-line Close up of crew figure manning M248...the crew figures were converted from standard Peter Pig US infantry, the legs were hacked off and filed smooth and the webbing on the rear was also filed down so they they fitted in the turrets... Close up of crew figure manning .50cal MG... Close up of crew figure with M16...I tho...

Me and my dad were play testing the rule set we are going to bring out within the next few months, just thought we'd see how it looks so far and iron out any of the creases... So the game was for the US player (me) to advance on the ville Plau Qu, capture and hold...I started off with a platoon sized force with my asset points buying me an M48 tank and a Huey Hog :) Plau Qu in the midst of steaming jungle... The M48 ready to roll forward... The first few turns were uneventful for the US troops...and they managed to get right up to the ville with no contact... 1st squad attempting to clear a building...but failing to pull the pin out of the grenade before thrown...doh! Second attempt...KABOOM...building clear :) The VC start appearing from behind the US troops...! The rest of the buildings in the ville were cleared with grenades and knocking out enemy entry points...also the M48 destroyed another building containing an enemy entry point... The US troops hearing movement from behind ...
