One man and his brushes.: ‘Nam 68

Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

‘Nam 68 - Gaming Hot LZ

Martin and I met up today for a Nam game . We used Bolt Action with a few tweaks . We are planning for the big Xmas game with the Scruton lads. Lots of new bits have been added such as tunnel entrances , more casualty figures , terrain items etc.

We decided on a seek and destroy type mission.

The LZ turned out to be a bit warm with RPG’s flying about

The VC were hiding in some tunnels near the LZ caused some surprises. RPG landing next to the command group killing the platoon sergeant. Martin has decided to create a tunnel complex piece fur the Xmas game now too.

An NVA mortar team had set up in the village - they seemed to know their job . There were some seriously lucky dice rolls.

Overall things worked well for transferring to the larger game , with a few extra challenges for the guys. We made a list of bits and bobs to add . We will have a 16x6 table to fight over next time.
