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 - 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 

 

 


 



NVA look on

Bravo company clear the village and find the stash . 
Burn out the VC supporting village.
