Firefight at the American Embassy/Gringo40s

i hope to put down a few thoughts on the really
important military action during the start of
the Tet Offensive. A very interesting part was
the use of plain clothed Marines...ie *stateside Gear"
and the weapons used..or were available. Due
to the perceived safety of the Embassy the main
weapons available were the 9mm Beretta  and
a lone shotgun and assortment of pistols,,though
the Reinforcing Marines had M16S...
The presence of the CIA was no real surprise
and the couple of chaps present used the Italian
Machine pistols as well
more to follow

It is really neat that you are making figures for what is a niche aspect of the war. Maybe "niche" is not the best word, and of course the figures would have other uses, but still it is doing something very unique that many manufacturers would be reluctant to take on.

And, of course, they are beautiful.

These would be great for any Saigon 68 battle, VC assault on a US base etc.

OTB many thanks..your quite right the figures
are multi-purposes and can be used for lots
of different Nam Scenarios!
