More of Ugly Fat Bloke's Stuff

Since Chris isn't able to access the forums yet, he asked if I could post some AAR photos of his assualt landing game. Once he comes back, he can flush out the details, but he did say:

great looking stuff. I LOVE the dice! Ha!

I love the surfer too. Not sure where he's from. Doesn't look familiar.

That leaving a surfer behind is pretty funny.

Those dice rock. Like there's a combat photographer in there too.

Awesome stuff!!!

Are those the Old Glory 25mm boats? Really great looking game!

that is awesome kit you have there!

Very little of that is mine; all the US stuff is Pat's. I waited 40-odd years to do Nam with every intention that I would have the US...as soon as the first batch of stuff was acquired Pat 'seized the initiative' and annexed the US. The ships are from Merrimac Miniatures , but I think you can now get them from Grand Manner ...as long as you can get a good price on selling your children - they are £90 each which is about US$ 110. I can't recall where the surfer came from but I'll ask Pat.

She's not sure - but Northstar maybe.

Nice to see you back, Chris.

I think whoever did the surfer did a Duvall/Kilgore figure as well, but I may be wrong.

No, you are quite right; he often appears as a company commander in our games - I'll try and find a pic.

The pics are from 2 separate games - a landing from the boars and an air cavalry raid. The former went very badly for my VC, the latter rather better. We are in he middle of a Normandy series just now, bu I suspect we'll be back to Vietnam next week.

seem to recognise those riverine boats ..
