A very enjoyable game table looks brilliant and a Merry Christmas to you all 🎅🎅🎅

[@johndesch7251]

Excellent scenery and figs! Love the event cards although some seem very deadly. In our nam games we make all troops vets to offset the volume of fire.

[@vonketteringham]

That's a good idea 💡

[@Spartans-bm9vd]

nice looking table.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate ☺

[@johndesch7251]

Americans tended to leave mortars behind at a fire base. Your grunts would usually have accurate and responsive artillery fire but that can be tough on game balance. To say nothing about close air. In any case great game, love the fair play, and search for innovation!

Thanks for the comments John. It's a work in progress but getting there 👍

That table is brilliant, it looks really good mate 👍

Many thanks 👍

Table looks amazing for some reason my brain started playing fortunate son as soon i saw it, great idea to just use bolt action such a fun ruleset

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks for the comments Vincent 👍👍

Looks like the back garden in early March before it needs its first mowing !

[@vonketteringham]

Excellent!🙂

[@miniaturegiantstudio]

Fantastic looking game. Really enjoyable to watch. I did like the event dice and card mechanic for the booby traps.

[@vonketteringham]

Glad you enjoyed it. Its a work in progress but quite happy so far!👍

[@raycarpenter6466]

Enjoyable game to watch ! Really like the way you guys discuss the variations on the rules You are using .. That's the right way to play wargames ... Great table too, hopefully there will be other games like this 😊

[@vonketteringham]

Certainly more coming up👍👍

[@walkaboutgamez2502]

Great game to watch I have now watched it 2x very inspiring .Happy new year VK

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks very much! Happy New year 👍

[@josephwalukonis9934]

Excellent game! Outstanding figures and terrain.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great fun. How do you think the rules played? Are you going to make any more additions to the rules? Or are you going to look for another set of rules specific to the period? Who is the maker of the helicopter.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Leslie. Rules are still a work in progress, good fun!

Absolutely Brilliant Frazier! Everything about this was so entertaining!

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks again 👍

[@wc9109]

Great game Frazier, really enjoyed it. The annoying thing is you have me looking at 15mm Vietnam to play BA with lol

[@vonketteringham]

Not my fault!🙂

Thanks Mate 👍

Enjoyable watch. loved the game guys

[@vonketteringham]

Many thanks ☺

[@wc9109]

The event cards are a great addition.

[@vonketteringham]

They do make a difference, not sure if I have the balance quite right but it's a work in progress 👍

[@tonybooker5059]

where are the event cards? I love the idea and I will like to use them in my game

[@tolemykus4805]

Looked like a fun time. :)

[@vonketteringham]

It certainly was 👍

[@lencampey5685]

I think the helicopter rule on 1 hit that it moves away is a bit unrealistic…I think a minimum of 3 hits then it would move back as these guys in the real world took a lot action! Really good play through and looking forward to playing this at the club soon

[@vonketteringham]

I think you're right, still a work in progress 👍

[@redmenace7278]

where are the minis from the vc ones also great video as always

[@vonketteringham]

VC figures are from Gringos 40👍

Thanks Sean 👍

[@timothyhall3954]

Great report. John is such a gentlemanly player, which is nice to watch, but he cuts you way too much slack (ha ha). Just a thought, and I know it was your first game with these, but historically the US forces would be calling for casevac, especially with the casualties they took in this game, and that could really log jam the Yanks in a game, as they protect casualties and arrange safe LZ's for dustoff's and evacs. Might be something you could factor in. I think it would mitigate some of the US firepower, and put pressure on US leaders. Medics could be added as a HQ element.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Tim. John is a great opponent and certainly gets his share of bad luck when it comes to dice rolling!

[@gardensbytheminute2668]

Brilliant. Where are the figures from?

[@vonketteringham]

Empress miniatures and Gringos 40👍

[@gardensbytheminute2668]

@@vonketteringham Thanks man

[@someimperialfist1404]

Where did you get the models from???

[@vonketteringham]

Mainly Gringos 40 and some Empress miniatures.

[@warvamp2]

What rule set are you using for this game VC on the trail or earth colored red? Obviously you are adding some modification to them.

[@vonketteringham]

We are using Bolt action with our own house rules 👍

[@tonybooker5059]

is there anyway to get a copy of the rules?

[@lanasmith4795]

Was that an attempt at American accent? Well it was better than Malcolm McDowell's on average

[@vonketteringham]

One concurs 🙂
