I've completed two different 1:1 28mm Free World infantry platoons. I finished the 28mm Vietnam era US Marine platoon this morning. It needs to be sealed at this point. My 1:1 28mm ARVN Ranger Mechanized Platoon is also done. The only thing left for the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive is a 1:1 28mm Viet Cong "Local Force" infantry company.
The problem is there are a lot of figures to paint. 90 total. That doesn't include the 28mm Vietnamese civilians, too. There are too many figures to fit on my 5' x 6' table. Ambush Valley handles about three squads per side before breaking down. I need to come up with a TS&TF variant to handle larger games...
My main impetus is to get everything finished for the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive. If I can run a game at Command Con 2017 in November 2017, so much the better. I also need 28mm Vietnamese buildings or grass huts in addition to painting the figures. A rice paddy or two would help, too...
