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.

Gaming - ‘Nam at Battleground show 2022

 Today saw another meet up at out local Wargames show Battleground which is organised by the good guys at Pendraken. We had the Nam stuff out for a display game and just a general meet up and chin wag . A good day was had . 

We were using the mash up rules , of cards/events from Charlie don’t Surf , and the shooting from the Nam . With a 60 min game clock being run down by the last activation side . So a d12 for Communists a d4 for the US . 

Ouch !


 

The Nam collection certainly has a wow factor . 




This game ended with 3 minutes left in the clock - with a major US victory with the high ranking officer recovered , important intelligence recovered , and all the wounded evacuated - no civilians killed . 2 US dead , 6 serious wounds , 6 light wounds - 2 helicopters lost and about 60 communists killed .
