And so it is now late in 2025.. I have had a tough year.. not done a huge amount of gaming and had some major health issues. 2024 saw two doses of covid and some broken toes and this year has seen a prolapsed disc in my spine on 30th of April and then months of recovery and boom it got worse in October and now I am back on the road to slow recovery and avoiding surgery I hope.
Gaming wise, last year I started to get the urge to do some more Vietnam.. dug out my 28mm trays of old Mongrel and Baker Company and TAG mini's and was hoping to get them painted. Also picked up some bits from Battlefronts NAM 15mm range and the rules.
So hoping to setup my self to get back to painting and get some NAM games in next year.
And return to some regular blogging once again.
I seem to have a habit of finding systems and miniature ranges just after they have gone out of print.
Certainly seems with
Gale Force Nine and
Battlefront merging or buyout, which ever it is.. the
Nam range has been dumped in leu of
Team Yankee.. Which frankly from the games I have seen played suffers with the whole
Flame of War Tank Carpark issues again.
I like the Nam rules as they seem to do a pretty reasonable job of reflecting the differing tactics of the
Communist and Free World Forces in the
Vietnam Conflict.
So I am looking forward to getting some figures painted and table ready and some scenery for
15mm and 28mm built up and on the table.
Update - I just hit post on this and then had a look back at some of my previous posts and games and wow.. 2011.. was the first posts here I made.
A lot has changed for me and a lot hasn't. Its kinda scary. I guess that
Wargaming and
Table Top Roleplaying is still in my blood!
Anyone after some more Veitnam Wargaming fund the
Fields of Fire old Forum, got replaced a few years ago with the new "Reloaded" forum site. You can find it here:
