I see you were busy last week!  That will help fill the table.

I hope they do, they  WERE  all the Vietnam civilians from my Lead Mountain...
Ordered some ARVN from Gringo 40,  & included a few more civilians. Ladies  :D

ARVN nearly finished, along with the new ladies, plus some more animals for market.

Having tarted up some 3D misprinted boats for our up coming Vietnam game, it was pointed out that a jetty
would be useful.  So I dipped into my coffee stirrer pile and...

With all this river traffic, how long before we see Bob's Brown Water Navy on the look-out for Charlie?

Now that's a great idea! I may have to copy you on this, Pete, and do a similar jetty. Especially since I have a ton of tires to use as bumpers, too. Plus, it would give me incentive to paint up my sampan and get it on the table!

And yes, I do realize I might be accused of having something to do with your painting Vietnam stuff. To paraphrase Gandalf, though: "If you're referring to the incident with Vietnam, I was barely involved. All I did was give Pete a little nudge out the door..."  :D lol

Feel free to copy the jetty. :)

I know Sellswords works with six players, having run more than a dozen games of my Viking town raid with it. One thing I did to move the game along was tell each player to start rolling immediately after any event cards for the player before them were resolved. No need to wait to see the result of the prior player's movement or shooting before they select a PC and roll themselves (if that makes sense). Hope that my Vietnam adaption works, too. You will be the first to ascend to that lofty number. Feel free to make any changes you think might make it work with that number of players, and let me know...

Thanks so much!

Some final bits.
Booby-trap, punji stakes.



Plus mines small & large.



Some ladies, from Gringo 40







Some wildfowl for market.




I have no VC as yet, so in case Bob (Flatpack) didn't get enough finished I painted up some Viet-Minh.

Having painted up two big pigs, I decided to research what a Vietnamese pig sty might look like.
In the process of this research I found out the pigs should be...BLACK, not the pink I had painted them.
Off now to repaint the pigs, but here is their new home. Amazing what you can do with some coffee stirrers. :D

Great stuff -- love the pigsty (not that I'd want to stay there, but you know...!). The ladies look great, too. You've got all the toys there for a stellar game!
