@beetle – Sciatic grassing Justin’s head has been pondered many times, many times.

It’s kind of scary, though, how many people regard it as a “Vietnam classic.” 😐

Just read the forward – this book actually looks pretty good. Might have to check it out fully.

I would never have said Apocalypse Now was a Vietnam FM. Just happens to use it as a background

I feel there are a handful, @torros. I stress “handful” – out of the massive pile that has been produced, especially after the success of Platoon in 1986. The one that I actually feel is terribly overrated or at least misunderstood is Apocalypse Now . Strictly speaking it’s not a Vietnam War movie! I know that sounds crazy […]

That Beastman shall be mine!

I´m so happy that I´ve just waited with the Butchers and the Fisherman… I would love to have them in PVC.

I used to love this series. I want this guy’s “magic” map case! That would be awesome for gaming! 😀

@davebpg – I dunno about divisive 🙂 – I’m happy to say there haven’t really been any arguments on the thread – a few differences of opinion but we’ve been having a remarkably “un-internet” debate on the matter. 😀 But it’s definitely kicked off some great conversation. I don’t mind history in movies, even if it […]

he uses the trimmings as static flock for basing

Dak To was indeed a helluva battle, probably the bloodiest of the pre-Tet “positioning” battles. Trust me, we briefly go into this in Part 02 as General Vo Nguyen Giap sets up the chess board for Tet through the mid- and closing months of 1967. So that’s Con Thien (up in I Corps Sector you […]

@torros – Gotcha. That specific photo (if we’re talking about the same one) was taken on the roof of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) – the CIA had the top floor. These weren’t the last choppers out of Saigon, though. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure these positions were evacuated in […]

After seeing how detailed the AT-ST model is, I am so excited to see what’s coming up.

I’m loving everything so far.

I agree 100%. Born in 1971, so too young to remember the closing stages of Vietnam, but definitely remember the closing 10-12 years of the Cold War … and having the piss scared out of me by movies like The Day After . I was like 12-13 and literally couldn’t sleep. New Years Eve was shortly after […]

It´ll be empbels, of course. I won´t miss out on anything. No. Never. Have not to decide I must, right?

Thank you for the heads-up in history, although I had allready known some of it. No, I haven´t read von Luck´s book yet and unfortunately I don´t have a John to borrow it from. Pity. But I remember von Luck mentioned in the battle of Normandy 1944, when he was in charge of one of […]
