2nd attempt at Vietnam gaming this time in 6mm, pics of my first US Platoon on the blog: http://ablogofwar.blogspot.co.uk/

Nice work they look great. Like the basing

Nice! I've gone with Pendraken 10mm for mine, although as I used Irregular 6mm US Vietnam infantry for my 1980's Turks I could always repurpose them.

Look forward to seeing the supports and vehicles.

Cheers, Andy

Thanks guys, I was tempted to go with 10 or even 15mm but knew I would struggle painting up a company at 1:1 which is what I wanted.

As for vehicles, only going to get a few more choppers and a few M113's, fortunately that should suffice and wont be too hard on the pocket.

How does the Irregular stuff scale with GHQ as im tempted by a few of their line?

The Irregular infantry are chunkier than GHQ and they look a bit naff in the raw metal, but they paint up really well. I've had a few miscasts as well. The recoiless riles and command figure groups are nice. I used WW2 US engineers for supports.

Thanks, you've convinced me to pick up a few Irregular codes

Just remembered, I used their infantry and command stands and their recoiless rifles. I used Mainforce for ATGMs (for the Turks).



Codes are listed on my blog.

Cheers, Andy

Could do what I did, asked for an NVA army box, without vehicles. Seem to have got 100% extra infantry.

They do paint up well.
