Play Testing

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 them turn and face any possible threat...
VC advancing on the ville from the old French bunker...
The M48 takes aim and blows a VC squad off the board...
US troops in the ville take fire and try returning fire with little effect...
Command element taking cover behind the tank and attempting to call in air support...

Game outcome: US Victory, they managed to hold the ville and repel the oncoming VC with the loss of 3 men and a helicopter

The rules are definitely coming together, a few small tweeks needed...and tanks are very deadly :D

And for the fun of it we had a little play...just something different...a tank on tank battle...
M48 vs T55
Outcome: M48 is more likely to win unless the T55 can ambush the M48 from the side or rear...
T-55 taking aim...hit...but the shell bounces off the front armour...
M48 lines up a shot...fires...
and KA-BOOM...

We hope to release this rule set soon, those interested keep an eye out at shows in June/July and the Parkfield Miniatures website :)

    An fascinating dialogue is worth comment. I think that you need to write extra on this matter, it might not be a taboo topic but generally individuals are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. find civil war ancestor

WW2 Desert Armour

Had some 15mm Peter Pig figures lying around for quite some time, I think they were a project my dad did for me. Looking at doing something that might not take up to much time while looking for a new job I thought I'd add a little bit to this set, might even look at rebasing the figures I have. This is what I've got on the bench at the moment: 5 Plastic Soldier Company Pzr 3 F and 5 Zvezda Matilda 2. The base coats were Flames of War armour spray base coat. The new phone has a rather good camera on it as well

1/35 US Soldier Iraq

Having brought loads of random figures when I was younger, for the fun of it, I have lots of very random part made or shoddily made figures and kits strewn about my room at home. These figures and models vary in scale and manufacturer. When I was back home at Christmas I found this chap and his comrades in a draw and thought that these would be good to paint up, my thought process then continued and I settled on the best looking (the one that was best put together - damn my younger self). So I retrieved this guy and brought him back to uni where he has been sitting for months unpainted...until now... Under coat of grey, thought was best for all the light colours I was going to paint this guy with... Base coat of Vallejo Sand Yellow (916) on all desert BDU parts (trousers, shirt sleeves and hat)... Boots painted with a random sandy type colour which looks alright and the body armour and webbing given a watered down paint/base coat of Vallejo US Dark Green (893)... The desert BDU was
