I like him as a model.
But I must say that from a wargaming perspective, prone models are a pain in the ar*e. Both because they require a bigger base and because you then have to imagine the models line of sight. But then again the bigger base allows you to build almost a mini diorama, so there is a silver lining I guess.

Well as most soldiers spend a lot of their time prone its difficult to ignore them really. We have chosen to do this with the NVA and VC specifically due to the tactical style of their fighting ie ambush or defence in Hue and elsewhere.

Todays NVA is Due.

Due in twenty minutes? Due Thursday? He seems to be in a hurry.  :)

Very nice btw, as is the RPD gunner.

As for prone figures, well whilst they tend not to be the preference of gamers and for good, practical reasons, prone is the default position once contact is initiated and save for short rushes, tends to stay that way until the contact is over. Even the final assault may more often than not be fought forward ‘on yer guts’ by teams pepper potting.

My hope would be to see the Australians in mostly patrolling poses plus packs of prone firing positions.

Question. The ‘free world’ forces are getting armour. Any chance the PAVN will get some? I’d really like to see some Type 63/K-63/YW531 APCs

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

Yep to both TBH. First PAVN armour will be around Christmas time depending on various constraints (time) but it should give any Firebase a scare  ;)
