[CapnJim]

Well, Advance the Colors was a good convention, in terms of my modern stuff.  I picked up 3 pre-painted 28mm buildings from Miniature Building Authority (from their Shanty Town range), as well as a painted 28mm Russian Ural truck.  I also picked up a die cast UH90 Blackhawk helicopter and a diecast CH-46 helicopter (which will double as a CH47...) from them, both usable in 28mm games.  I also got 2 Humvees (1/43 diecast - but they will do fine for 28mm games), with armored weapon stations and gunners.  I will re-paint the Humvees in proper NATO tri-color schemes, and will paint up the weapons stations and gunners tp go with them.  I think they will be up next, so will appear here not that far down the road...

I also played in a modern game set in A French intervention in Africa.  I and another player played the French, and we won!

MODERATORS:  please repost this in my Modern thread, if that's possible.  It should be there.  My bad...
