One man and his brushes.: Gaming - ‘Nam

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 The Other Partizan

Last weekend saw a group trip to The Other Partizan . Martin and I had decided to get the Nam stuff out and give it a showcase . We had a lot of interest in the table and Martin sold some of our rules as well

We had decided an on armour led column heading to a NVA base village/town . It was a chance to get some unusual kit on the table .

The first RPG shot took out an M48 , good job the wrecker was near by .

As usual the Skyraider was getting lots of interest

DiscoDave, Czartank, James , Martin after the Saturday set up . Next stop was beer and curry

I am currently offloading various bits to clear some space in the ongoing storage wars so I had a session at the tabletop sale which went well .

I terms of purchases there was the British Highlanders from Empress for my Back of Beyond force .plus a random modern special forces on Skidoo - yeah I know - but they looked cool .
