Lovely painting on your French.
I purchased some of the same figures when they first came out.
Before Empress picked them up.
They still set in my unpainted lead pile all these years later.
Went with US in Vietnam instead. (My war)

I was going to stick with Indochina, but the allure of those Hueys and recreating scenes from my favourite Vietnam movies, was just too great of a temptation.

As someone who has games Vietnam on-and-off for 35 years, starting with Platoon 20 figures, I currently have the period in 1/200 using Skytrex vehicles and helos, and Mainforce Miniatures figures. I am quite interested in a larger scale ( ie 20 or 28mm) but wonder what are a recommended ruleset. Any advice?

The jungle set-up is definitely starting to take shape, but I want to expand this to 8ft by 5ft later this year, so there is some additional terrain pieces planned, including another hill section with a hidden VC bunker complex and a jungle river.

I think the planned river will really make the layout pop, as it will be quite wide and covered in foliage on its banks, dead trees floating through it, plus it might also feature a rope bridge.

Those sneaky Viet Minh have fortified the jungle around the airstrip, so it's not going to be an easy mission for the French.

French Indochina - Fight for the Airstrip. The opening moves saw the Viet Minh deploy from all points of the compass, surrounding the French defenders. The lead squad quickly advanced taking the French Paras by surprise, slotting two of them during the advance to contact.

The Viet Minh began concentrating their fire on the Legionnaires holding the main building in the centre of the battlefield, using hidden set-up to both confuse and avoid any returning fire.

Intense firefights and close quarter combats broke out across the airstrip. No quarter was given by either side and every man knew this was a fight to the death. Following a devastating charge by the veteran French Paras, it ended in a full squad of Viet Minh being wipe out.

A Viet Minh Local Force infiltrate onto the airstrip, supported by the force’s commander. The combination of SMG and rifle fire severely rocked the French, but their nerve held despite losing a number of comrades. The Viet Minh mortar team also opened up, but failed to zero in.

After the Viet Minh recoilless rifle  fired and hit the Stuart Light Tank but then failed to damage, all element of surprise was lost. The veteran Paras turned up the heat with some super aggressive fire and close combat. This almighty push was enough to break the back of Viet Minh.

And pigs.  And chickens, and ducks, and geese...which all look good, BTW.  So do those VC fellers...

Soviet PT-76 amphibious light tank in the service of the North Vietnamese Army in Vietnam 🇻🇳 (The first successful action of PAVN armor in NAM was against the Lang Vei Special Forces camp in February 1968).

I would recommend Chain of Command DMZ Second Tour as a decent option.

Have you tried the BOHICA rules set? Interested to know what you think of them, as they look like they can handle plenty of figures & kit.
Title: Re: Raglan's Tour of Nam and Indochina
Post by: CapnJim on October 07, 2023, 10:16:09 PM
A.  Jumpin' Jarheads!  That Marine platoon looks grand!

B.  We've used these rules for Vietnam:  The Nam (by Wayne Bollands), the previously-mentioned BOHICA, and Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles.  All provided good games.  In fact, we played a Vietnam game using FfoL:BB a couple weeks ago (just before me wife and I headed off to the Canadian Maritimes on vacation).  I hope to post an AAR of that game here one of these days...

Saigon 1968 - Vietnam War. Looking at my expanding Boxer Rebellion layout this morning and thought it would also make a great setting for a Nam game. “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”

US Marine Recon Team. To be a Recon Marine is to surpass failure: to overcome, to adapt and to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. Through professional pride, integrity, and teamwork, I shall be the example for all Marines to emulate.
