Everything is having a final bit of a sunbathe on the windowsill to make sure it's all cured properly then it'll be off to Empress :D
Yay!

By the way - the jerry can photo just shows the Tripod logo.

Man, I am so excited for this. I've been trying to resist 28mm Vietnam, but the promise of gaming Binh Ba is just too much.

I'll only need 3 Centurions... And another 3 M113/T50. Get cracking ;)

Or you could game the lesser known but equally interesting battle of Ba Ria and dispense with the Cents.

https://vietnam.unsw.adfa.edu.au/the-tet-offensive/

One of only two battles that 1ATF undertook in an urban environment and long before the army brought in FIBUA/MOUT training.

Of course you’ll still want the Cents for Coral-Balmoral.  :)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Umm, that's a Troop of Centurions. They are Armoured Corps, after all.

Often operated in 2's from what I read (long ago) in Jungle Tracks. Our Driver Training instructor got his MM (and bar) there. Mind you, he was quite an angry ant. lol

Did I say 3? Silly me, I meant 4. Have to have a full troop of course!

All this military reading has me nostalgic for the army. I'm not too old yet, maybe this retired pogue will re-up and go for a combat Corps? I'm sure they'd want a 30yo ex-bandie  lol
