Vip, Mostly still trying to figure out what I'm going to buy. I did pick up a couple of M113s and an M48, and will probably go with Britannia's VC in about a...
Brian, Well, good luck with your project(s)! Keep us updated! I myself nearly gamed two Vietnam wars (the French campaign in Tonkin, 1884-85, and the Indochina...
Seems that GW High Command has decided to pull out of Asia. GW Stores have been closed in HK over the past few months, while the one at Plaza Singapura in...
Just recieved these, along with some Indians from FOF, from the Belgian distributor "Tracks n' Troops". Priced at 2.64 Euros, the pack contains three figures;...
Here's a quick review of the new Friend or Foe Indians.
First off, I'm very impressed with these figures: they're clean, well-
animated, and nicely sculpted....
G'day all, Just to tell you all that I've just uploaded a few scans of the new FOF Indians. The picture really doesn't do them justice at all, imho. They're in...
I'd like to welcome our latest member, Richard aka bbtoys333, a man struggling to get a decent China '37 game going (hopefully around Shanghai). To Richard: ...
Here's what Eric Nuyt (Dutch modeller struggling to get 1/72 dioramas of the battles around Java done) wrote to me, and I thought I'd like to share it. Might...
Dear Vip Nice reviews. Persoanally Ive pretty much decided to go with plastic figs as , as a rule the plastics are better than the metals in terms of detail &...
Why, thank you Bob. Very kind of you! I myself prefer 20mm metal, because of the variety of ranges, and also because of the weight in them. I'm certain that...
How's your games going? Which battle should we expect to see in the near future? Dear Vip Goodwood is next - Weds 14th May. There should be 65 sherman models...
Thanks, Vip, for the nice welcome. What a nice group. I just read your wonderful post about Taierzhuang and it makes me want to do that in addition to...
Bob, Right off the top of my head, the largest tank battle of the Pacific War (and this is what popular military history says) took place on Saipan, where 44...

That is what I meant. The Jap tanks fought a US Armored Amphibian Battalion, iirc. Dear Vip That just goes to show my shocking ignorance of WW2 Pacific history...
Richard, It is a nice group, indeed. Only thing wrong with it is, of course, that most of the members here don't really discuss things that much. Do post...
Well, Bob, I'm sure that you'll be able to easily beat me with NWE (not '39 and '40 though!) and the Ost Front anytime. There are so many good books out there...
Glad to have you with us. What did you think of the FoF Indians? They'll definitely look a lot better when a decent (ahem) paint job is applied. Overall, I'd...
Dear Vip Thanks for the reply :-) Lets widen it - anyone care to recomment a book they have read on Saipan. I know there are a bunch out there, and I ve found...
You know, from all that time we've spent "talking" to each other, I still don't know what rules you're using! My main preference is Rapid Fire (with a small...
Bob, Some people love RF, others hate it. Just depends on who you are, I guess. Not great for those pick-up type games, but works fine with (historical)...
