Bridge Strike, Sông Lâu River, North Vietnam, 21 January 1967 Vietna10

As part of a multi-target operation on the Sông Lâu River, North Vietnam, 4 Phantoms and 4 Skyhawks have been assigned to destroy a recently rebuilt bridge...

AAR soon...

Another Academy Award level AAR OTB. More tense moments. Beautiful aircraft and table. Wonderful signs. Superb photography.

I also love the karsts.

Nice seeing glimpses of your room too. Cool!

Thanks guys! cheers

I use Crossfire with the Incoming! Vietnam rules supplement. It's hilarious that some wargamers stereotype Crossfire as an infantry-focused game.

That is a great AAR! High cost for an unachieved objective though, that's rough.

Of all the bands photos you have on there, I got most excited about Finn Riggins. They are GREAT! I've never gotten to see them, hopefully one day soon. (I've met Iggy Pop, but not the rest of the Stooges, maybe someday for them too, but they're all getting ooold)

For 20+ years I worked for Rock bands (and jazz, folk, etc) and opera, ballet, musicals...that's how come I look so aged and crippled....the ugliness is just pure chance.

The Finn Riggins gig was great - it was part of an all-day 4th of July event in the garden bar at El Rio. And it was my birthday. Very Happy
