28mm French Indo-China War - looking for ideas?

[Sparrow]

Thanks Seamoose. Appreciated. Some nice ideas there.

(I just can’t abide Bolt Action -but it’d be boring if we were alll the same!)

I've been using bolt action to play various scenarios

I like the French regulars you made using the USMC from bolt action along with M36s from TAG. Can we get a few close up side by side photos of how they compare to the Empress paras?

Thanks. I made a quick blog post about the differences. Nothing fancy but if you want more info or picture I can amend the blog post accordingly for you guys and anyone who comes along and finds it.

Thanks for the pic.

No problem, feel free to hit me up if you have any other questions. One thing I don't think I have pictured are the foreign legionnares which I made with warlords chindits with the heads in kepi that work well for various periods of the conflict.

Those also sound like a good idea.

I have just been admiring the Empress range so it is good to find this thread.

I was thinking of it as a project using BA (sorry Sparrow). Low commitment at just a platoon  Just need to do some more research and persuade fellow gamers

This website seems quite useful

I looked at minimum size forces using Bolt Action rules and force lists, and Empress figures.

I would be interested in seeing how other people build their forces.

For the French I use the American, British, and now that it's available the late war French army list but I actually think the British book is best suited to represent them. For the Viet Minh I use the communist Chinese army from empires in flames with the addition of bazooka and RCL teams from the US book
