Holy shit!  Now, THAT is a game room!!  Color me about 75 shades of envious green.

The close ups earlier are pretty cool, love all the bits and pieces.

Hmm.  Just did a quick review of the whole thread - well, the photos - and realized this will be a nice painting guide for my own Vietnam stuff - but in 10 mm, mostly from Pendraken and small bit from Minifigs.

Looks like a spectacular game! Did you scratch-build your flickering markers? If so, any tips? I definitely consider myself a novice with them....

Would love to read the batrep on the game.  :)

Hi

The more full battle write up is here

The blast markers guidance can be found here
http://onemanhisbrushes.blogspot.com/2019/02/blast-markers-mark-2.html

It’s pretty simple as you can see from the pics

Self-combusting guinea pigs!

Very cool. Love the figures.

Thank you so much, Deedles! I will read both with interest. These look perfect for my Xenos Rampant suppression markers. You won't be forgetting you have to make a morale check with one of those babies flickering in your face...!  lol

Nice report!  Sounds like the Jarheads accidently snatched victory from the maws of defeat!   :D

And I too like those blast markers...
