Dr. Zombie, those are GREAT pics and lots of nice stuff on that table!

You should come and spam up Fields of Fire with that stuff.

There are more Marines comming of the paint que any day now.

But then again there are NVA heavy weapons en route in the post...

Some more Marines join the fight. And a war corespondent to document it all.

Also Joker, Cowboy, 8ball and Animal mother make their way through some ruins.

Just read through this little lot and it's looking great. You've done a top job on the jungle and the figures, helped by the fact that the sculpts look pretty damn good.

How did you get on with the the Spectre rules and are you on version 1 or 2? I'm thinking of using them in a game tomorrow but I've not printed them yet, let alone read them.

I like the Spectre rules. I have played both 1.st and 2.nd editions. They are very deadly though. You do not want to be shot at in those rules. Because you will most likely die.

They focus a lot on modern warfare and lot of the gizmos and gadgets in the rules were not awailable in Vietnam. But there is a cool rule where a better trained guy can mentor poorer trained guys. That means you can have a squad of Marines who do decent as long as they are under the wing of the veteran sg. but crumble very fast when they are not. Or a fresh Lt. who is only really usefull when the grizled old platoon Sg is holding his hand.

Thanks for your thoughts, I'm on 1st edition and printed them but I'm going to have to go through them with a highlighter to identify the actual rules amongst all the verbiage, they don't like to use 1 sentance when 10 will do..
I've fallen asleep twice before page 20, I shouldn't try reading things that tax my brain late at night. I will persevere.

Cheers

I painted up the Marine Recon squad from Empress. I tried to do differet pieces of camo for them all to reflect their more individual nature. I tried to hit the tigerstripe camo and the spotted duckhunter camo. But then I managed to take a picture that shows none of it...
