Gaming - the ‘Nam campaign

 Friend Martin and I are revisiting the ‘Nam with a long term Tour of Duty campaign . 

My guys are Bravo company , 2nd Battalion , 9th Regt . 3rd Division USMC . Ironic these had a nickname of “The Walking Dead” . 

We played a few games with Martins company - and he’s on a real dice downer at the moment with two of his three squads now being seriously depleted- and on of them have 9 MIA and taken prisoner last week . This week he was off seeking redemption. It didn’t work , any my Bravo company boys were sent it to add some proper steel . They landed , dealt with the NVA , found the hidden prisoners , found the arms  cache ,  burnt the village , back home to base and be loved long time . Good fun was had

Gaming - Wake Island 192?

 This weekend saw the first Partizan of the year . I was with the guys from The League of Extraordinary Kriegspeilers . The game was a imaginary 1920’s fight at Wake Island 

The sea is made of 4 mats from Deepcut 

The set up is all part of Steve Langans wonderful collection 

My Torpedo boat breaches the defences 

The Japanese won the pre invasion game of Battleships in the bar the night before giving them the edge on the day which followed through to an ultimate victory in the day . I was busy all day and didn’t take nigh pictures of this ! 

The show was as busy as ever with epic looking games that had 5 minutes to look  at . I didn’t have a shopping requirement as I am having a bit of a downsize of  stuff for the rest of this year . They did run a table top sale which I took advantage of which has got the downsize project off to a good start and thinned out the lead/plastic pile and the rules that were never getting used .

As usual it was also a good social catch up with various friends . Time to think about The Other Partizan , and what game to do I think 

Here is the game brief .
