Review of Flank March Miniatures Lionheart 28mmCold War British Part 2
Cheers mate 😉
Superb pirate, superb and ready to board...love the Kraken as well!!👍👍
Have just finished reading Mark Bowdens Hue 1968 it’s a monster of a paperback!. I have been looking for a suitable set of Skirmish rules for Vietnam war whilst reading this book and you have solved the issue, especially as they are at squad level. Just found your blog and am now subscribed. One last thing how did you make the bases for your Hue buildings they look great.
That’s great Greg, glad you’re enjoying the content. Basically the Hue building are based using a base of 2mm mdf I then attach a 5mm thick layer of blue craft foam. You can then engrave details using a sharp pencil or something similar. It’s then painting time.
Beautiful game! Where are the miniatures from?
Liberation Miniatures by RH Models rhmodels.yolasite.com/
Great terrain, figures and an interesting scenario. I’ve always wanted to do Goose Green as a battalion game using Crossfire. There are a couple of good books on the subject but it sounds like you’ve read them. Certainly a difference in command style after Keeble took over.
Thanks, Crossfire is a great game and be worth trying. “Not mentioned in despatches” is a must read if your interested in the battle 😉
@ yep that was the book I was thinking of, couldn’t remember the title on the spot last night. Excellent read.
Nice looking game, superb river and trenches!👍👍
Thanks Phil
Thanks Gents, great looking table & miniatures. A tough scenario for the Paras. Cheers 👍
Thanks Paul, it was
Thanks 👍
Nice to see you guys back I was looking at nam 68 to modern look forward to want you do
Lovely looking table. Hope the show went well for you.
Thanks mate it went really well lots of questions 😉
Great to meet you and chat, hope to see you at Recon 24 Pudsey, December 7th all the best Simon fo Eagle Figures
Likewise mate, I’ll message you on Facebook messenger 😉
Didn't get down to Battleground today due to the weather, your table setup looked great, hope the show went well.
Thanks Pete, it went really well, lots of good comments
Such a fantastic table, with so many details on it, very immersive!
Thanks Phil, glad you liked it
It was great to meet you and your son at the show. All aspects of your game were presented in a first class manner, your marines and Viet Cong/NVA were little painted masterpieces, thank you for taking the trouble. Much admiration from an old chippy.
That’s very kind of you to say, and appreciated. Mine and Alex’s view is that demo games at shows are all about chatting to people and answering questions about the rules figures and terrain, glad you liked it
Looks really excellent! Where did you buy the palm trees?
Plastic kits from a company called Pegasus Models 😁😉
I shall pop by and say hello
👍
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Great review, I have been watching some of your battle reps and am really interested in this system. How do you feel it compares to chain of command or Battlegroup?
II would also recommend Bernard B Fall's Books as he really did a good job covering the conflict in Indochina. The French nearly whipped out the Viet Minh in 1946 in their first strike.
Yup seconded
G’day from Oz. I’ve ordered the Nam 68 rules from Plastic Soldier in Aug. No update yet. Any info you might have on when they will be processed. Much obliged.
Well they’re in the process of being sent out, I’ve not received mine yet, they are quite a small operation so we need patience. It is frustrating when you just want the rules but the nice thing about PSC is they always come through. Very tempted with the Empress Australians, even bought a Rubicón Centurion😉
@@DougiesWargamingBlogShow many thanks Dougie. Yes Empress Aussie Nam figs are nice. I have a full set. Also take a look at the Aussie range at Eureka Miniatures. Also excellent. I also have that Centurion plus all their Nam range.
Lovely little scenery piece, well done
Thanks 😉👍
That looks great!
Thanks David 😉👍
Well done this is a fantastic piece of art much appreciated you sharing it with us 👍
Thank you, can’t wait to see it on the table top with the rest of the buildings 👍
Alec Well done
Cheers man! 😉👍
Amazing attention to details, great looking diorama!👍👍
Thank you, really happy how it came out, looking forward to do another building 😀👍
wowzers, havent had beer in a week, and now i can barely understand that...its english right lol cool vid, just givin you the business lol. great looking model. we (Alaska Gen-X Wargaming Club) like those gringo 40 viet nam figures, we use them as American militia in games vs regular American army figs from empress for our American civil war games. we call them 'north american militia' (NAM) good video, 2 thumbs up
Thanks! Yeah we have got both gringo 40s and empress miniature, from the Vietnam range. They are both a good size comparison when on the table top! 😉
Good stuff. Looks great!
Thanks ☺️ really pleased how it came out , and was a lot of fun trying something different and practicing different techniques 😉
They look great!
Thanks Michael
Remarkable work; inspiring!
Thanks 👍
I went down to the tabletop expo last weekend hoping to see you guys and other wargamers from the region there too, but I think I misunderstood what that event was about. Was mostly stalls selling wargaming things rather than games being demo'd. Lots of tournaments going on upstairs but it was Warhammer 40k, not really my thing so didn't hang around for that. Hope to catch you guys at an event soon.
Next demo is at Battleground in Stockton on Saturday 23rd November
Just give me the heads up cheap Iranian drones have changed war
egads, white metal figures... what is this, the 1980's lol
Do you think the gas mask wearing figures they do would be suitable for NBC equiped Troops?
I’ve had a Quick Look on the website, the figures look like they have gas masks on with standard uniform and equipment,the NBC suit and overbooots at the time were quite distinctive. Actually the description does say combat jackets so not in NBC suits. Hope this helps 😉
@DougiesWargamingBlogShow Ah I just persumed the description was copy and pasted from the rest and wasn't 100% accurate. Cheers mate ill have to look for some nbc troops elsewhere. Great video 👍
Really looking forward to seeing your journey with these
Thanks Mike same here 😉
Great review. Outstanding figures
Thanks 👍
I don't game WW2 these days, but even I'm tempted by these.
They are really nice
Do you use Citidal shade washes
Yes, Agrax Earthshade and Athonian Camoshade mainly
They do like smart. The Wirbelwind turret looks tricky to clean and paint but detail is super. Love the Stummel breech guard. That sort of detail sells 3D. I would have liked a close up of the hull sides looking for layer-lines but looked pretty clean. The driver plug-in for 251 is a great piece of engineering. Very interested. Thanks Dougie
Hi John hectic last few days, I’ll take some pics and post on here 😉
Messaged you re pics
How do they compare sizes wise to other miniature manufacturers?
I’ll do some comparisons and post on here 😉
I’ve taken some measurements and the 251 is scaling out at 1/56
Great to see some content about the upcoming rules (really looking forward to receiving them) and on a lovely table too! Thank you, much appreciated.
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Stummel in particular looks fantastic.
Very impressed Martin
There are some 3d printed 28mm Tuk-Tuk motorcycles you could use.
I’d be interested in those, I’ll run a search 😉
Some 3D printed Models are fantastic. I have purchased mainly from here in the US. I have had someone print up some FV432 Models and I have had some M-28 and M-113. Got a Conqueror from Butlers Printed Models in the UK but Postage has made the cost too high.
Thanks Christopher, it’s looking like that’s the way a lot of manufacturers are heading. The postage rates are a pain, I was wanting to order some figures from Brigade games but the shipping costs and import duties are crazy.
Great shootout, good review 👍
Thanks 👍
Great looking game. Thanks for sharing. Rules sound great and similar in parts to Battlegroup by looks of it, which is a brilliant ruleset.
Thanks Andrew, yeah you can certainly see the connection with Battlegroup, which I agree with you is a great system.
Very nice kits
They certainly are
Your sound track started out okay but became garbled.
Thanks Christopher I’ll mention it to Alex he does the IT stuff, we’ll check for future videos
I think that the problem was caused by You tube as every thing was okay when I went back a few hours latter.
Great looking table can't wait to get my copy of the book
It’s a great system
Really captured the look of the Hue battle- all you were missing was the rain.
Ha ha the weather played a big part initially restricting air power
Great looking table and great painting. Looking forward to seeing more
Thanks 👍
