10mm Vietnam Game: Take That Village Playtest

Something in the pipeline, play tested once with a friend and it was good, then lots of other interesting things got in the way, but it is about to be picked up again (see below, the jungles of Vietnam created on Kallistra terrain): 


A Vietnam game without a Huey? Never! (see below, which a chemistry see through paperweight, hurriedly pressed into (very effective) service as a flying stand): 


The wide expanse of the "jungle table" means that the figures seem lost in its midst. which feels about right (see below, it it only possible to spot the troops, because of the camouflage, with teh aid of counters - which again seems about right): 


The Pendrakon 10mm figures although small are beautifully sculped (see below, US Blue - NVA/VC Red, naturally): 


Looking forwards to play testing this home-brew rule set of a friend ;)

I'll be interested to see how this one develops- any further details of the game- scale, forces gamed etc?

Cheers,

Pete.

I will let the game master comment in more detail, but a platoon sized that can draw in supporting assets to beef it up to half a company .. I think was 50m and man represented a team or section .. 8 + 2 supports + 1 command for a platoon from memory. Close terrain with a rectangular battle map of about 10+ by 20+ hexes
