Hi... will find out. I’m one of those duffers that gets flunked by the non phone aspects of my mobile on a regular basis so I’ll find some to guide me!

if you are using an iPhone, edit the pics before loading them onto LAF. That will solve the problem or the orientation.

Fantastic looking table!

I've seen both the terrain and the miniatures previously shared by Dags and Phil, but it's inspiring to see them combined  :D

Great table Sparrow. You can't beat a nice bit of jungle -



For what it's worth Tinned Fruit is the name of the last band I managed and originates from the leader singer's only chat up line "What's your favourite tinned fruit?" It had a lot more success than the band...

That's a fantastic origin story! That jungle looks great too. Any plans for it to be added to the store as a standing item?

Then they changed the band’s name to Crème Brûlée and things really looked up...  As their guitarist famously remarked “It’s a shit business.”  ;)

Some pictures of a recent Ong Tan game played with USMC forces instead of ANZACS. Played the scenario with ANZACS a couple of times but on the third time thought it would be interesting to see what USMC tactics would be like in such a confrontation. They did not do very well although largely due to a failure to get their artillery support in earlier and relying on small arms fire to do the job.

Mind you casualties for the VC was pretty bad so not a good day for anyone's career.

I think some Skyraiders with Napalm are on order.  :D

The USMC had one pass and decided to drop the napalm in a safe zone thus no casualties.

Wise move at the time.

As the USMC commander, when Paul described their (my) performance as not doing “very well” he is, for once, the master of the under-statement. At one stage I desperately called out “broken arrow”! I got lucky at the end but it was more than I deserved.

What was interesting is the way the event card system just kept randomly creating NVA/VC attacks in a 360 degree basis that I initially struggled to come to terms with. Indeed, I now know how they must have felt at the Alamo! Exciting stuff!

All that said the game was huge fun (and right now in COVID world , that’s of immense value!). Here’s to many more!
