Force on Force Game in Progress

I set up a small (4x5) game with Dad last night to continue working through rules. USMC v NVA. AAR to follow tomorrow. (hopefully these are correct side up, seems like I always struggle with that)

Figures are 28mm Gringo 40 and Full Metal Miniatures. Mat is from Cigar Box. Hootch is Sarissa. Other scenic items I have made or modified.

nice

Great looking table you have there.

Hayes! That looks amazing! WOW!

wonderfull job on table

Gunship rolling in. Base needs grass and model needs weathering but could not resist posting. Thanks all.

YES! Hogs rolling in to shit up!

Love the action shot!

Nice looking tabletop

Beautiful table. The figures look 28mm so the helicopter must be larger than 1/72. I love that machine gun mounting and ammo feed. I used to know the nomenclature for that but forget now. For my 1/72 B model Huey I had to do a lot of conversion work to get that.

Looking forward to seeing more photos of your game.

Tom

Thanks a lot!!!

Yes the UH-1B Hog is 1/48 scale die cast from Corgi. I need to weather it but a great model. I do not love building plastic models so for me these are a good value if I figure my time worth anything! :-)

I’m working on a UH-34 now in plastic. I wish someone did 1/48 diecast slicks, especially D models but I’ve not found them if they exist.

Super game table that plunges us into the heart of the action!
Strongly more photos!

Thanks a lot!

Posting from cell will see how this goes....

Hayes,

Great table.

How about a how-to on getting such a great looking shiny water effect in those paddies?

I was wondering about how you made those paddies too...

I love that truck photo.

Tom

Thanks a lot! I’ll do a tutorial on the paddies. I’ve toyed with making them for sale too but not sure what the interest level might be. Thanks again for the kind words.

Those paddies do look really good. I'm guessing it's a 2-part clear poxy mix?

Very nice!

More great eye candy Hayes. I think you probably would have a market for those paddies. There's plenty of folks who would pay top dollar just so they don't have to build them, themselves.

Hayes,
You could feel the tension just looking at that first terrain pic!
Awesome table and pics. Must have been a great game.
