AirCav Blue Platoon insertion, Laotian Border, 21 August 1968

On the Laotian border, a Blue Platoon is inserted to scout for NVA.



Their destination, a suspicious cluster of hooches...

How suspicious are they...?

Very suspicious.

Looks like this thread made the community newsletter! You 20mm guys are always stealing the show.

There's a newsletter?

It took us 10 hours to play this one: two assault waves, in four gaming sessions - there's a lot of photos...

Yeah. Probably goes right to your junk folder. It's something that Forumotion does once a month. Basically a highlight of the most recent posts and active posts. I have NO control over the content. It just seems funny that your stuff and GarryOwen's stuff are always front and center for each issue!

It's a 20 mm plot to take over...

Clearly.....

Just found the newletter in my junk folder too. By accident. Actually also had a "Do not reply" intro. Nearly deleted it. Told my PC to mail it to my normal inbox next time.

Nice terrain and pics. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you fellas had some fun. 20mm/1:72 gamer myself.

Yeah it does look a bit like spam, truth be told.

Oh, by the way, welcome to the forum Jimo. Don't forget to say a proper hello on the "Check Your Gear" thread in the Checkpoint Delta forum.

I vow I will finally get this 10-hour game AAR report done this week.

20mm rules nice otb

In response to the loss of their Blue Platoon, the AirCav return in force...

More eloquent writing OTB, and great pics.

I narrowly lost that one, but did have the satisfaction of shooting down those Cobras!

They haven't survived a single game - every time I roll them out for a scenario, my wargaming buddy is like this , chooses the Free World forces, and then

I do like the fact the US keeps coming back with helos for revenge!!

Great AAR and photos. I love all of your scenic details in the VC camp and also the high rocks.

Thanks a lot for posting this.

Tom
