The Men of Company B 2nd Edition By Peter Pig Miniatures (UK) for 15mm Vietnam Wargaming

So Peter Pig Miniatures (https://www.peterpig.co.uk/) have been going for a long while. I have known about them and the Men of Company B Wargames Miniature Rules for a long time, but never really had much interest as you might guess my main focus has been for many many years 28mm scale and not 15mm.. 

BUT well 'times they are a changing' as they say.. 

Firstly you can find their 15mm Vietnam Range here: 15mm Vietnam 


The Rules for Men of Company B can be found here: Hard Copy Rules and PDF Rules

Their Website does look a little dated though it is updated regularly with stock etc and functions. So don't let the look put you off. Just enjoy the slightly retro feel. 

So if you are wondering what their figures are like. Well I like them. They are not as detailed maybe as some of he Battlefront Nam or Flashpoint Miniatures 15mm ranges but they are nice and having some great sculpts you won't find elsewhere. 

Below are some Youtube videos for the 'Vietnam The Men of Company Be Rules'

They are Search and Destroy Rules where you play using a gridded battlefield. 

Part 1 Setting the Scene

Part 2 

Part 3 Doing the shoots and moves. Tanks too.

Part 4 The final part of the VIETNAM wargaming game play

As well as figures, they also make and sell some buildings and bunkers in resin. 

Here is some video of a few items in the range to give you an feel for the sculpting style

3D Printing really has come along a way..

 I remember back in 2016 chatting with someone who had built a home based 3d printer and event then the possibilities for wargaming were obvious.. but wow these things have really come a long way. 

The designs and files out there are simple impressive. 
This one for instance is quite something: 
Ork looted Imperial Knight 3D Print

The resolution on modern resin printers is quite something. I wonder as the technology moves on, will we see printers at shows and simply selecting the model you want and having it printed there and then.. probably a decade or more away, but I can see that occuring.. 

In the meantime. I want this! 

Getting the next generation into Wargaming.. with AT-43

In January

, I picked up a copy of Operation Damocles, AT-43 by Rackham. It was a whim purchase and didn't really have a use for it. BUT its proven to be a great buy..

With the Covid Lockdown hitting here in the UK and isolating.. my friends two lads were off school and stuck upon the gaming console, getting more and more feisty and less and less social.

So in an attempt to get them off their console I have given them the box set and got them into gaming, via social distancing. I write the missions and they play them.

Its amazing how they have improved socially now they are off the x-box and actually engaging their brains. They love the figures, especially as they are pre-paints.. not the best quality, but are sturdy enough to survive their rough handling.

So far they have completed all the missions in the set and enjoyed some others I have made.

I am now hunting for some more figures to expand their forces and keep the games going.. and keep them off the gaming console.. So if anyone can help please please, give me a shout.. On the hunt for any old AT-43 stuff to expand the games.

Cheers John and happy gaming in these strange times.
