Best 28mm Vietnam range?
« on: February 24, 2017, 10:24:08 AM »
Hi folks,

TAG.
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

Really, TAG is a bit too heroic for me...
Heads and hands too big etc. ;)

I would also say TAG.  I had some Baker Company ones as well but the sculpts weren't that good and also with the situation with their kickstarter backers I would not buy from them again.

It took a long time, but now you found the way.
I think the TAG-Range is nice, westwind is not more than ok. When you find some Force of Arms-Stuff you are very lucky, they are great. But I think the company is out of buisiness. Empress Indochine-Stuff can be used for the VC. The new WW2-Line from Empress can be used, but for hardcore-fans they are to old. The brigade-games AC1957-stuff is partly usable for the early period.

Risk a look in the "fields of fire"-forum.

Hmm, looked up TAG and Empress again.

Maybe I go for a mix of TAG US troops and Empress Vietcong.
Thanks to all of you.

I mentioned this when they released the Indo-China stuff funnily enough. I've been after a Paul Hicks sculpted Vietnam range for years and it would have happened if I was rich!

I mainly have Force of Arms stuff and they are definitely my personal favourites.

I like TAG the best.
Have some FoA also.
No line out there is perfect.
I do say Paul Hick's Indo China figures are great, but an earlier time.

WHO is selling the Force of Arms stuff in the moment, Steve?
