38th Parallel action

This could be a little skirmish between NKPA units and some Americans circa 1970.
The units involved will include ROK, US units. Once I sort them out, an action will take place, stay tuned

Incoming! NVA take on a US Army base camp 1967

 Ian has really gotten interested in the Vietnam conflict with our figures. Tonight, on one of my few Saturday nights off, he decided to set up an NVA attack on an American camp

The American Lt. has set up his HQ in the local village headmans house.

The camp is being established as a Firebase, the infantry are occupying the area to prepare for the artillery

But the local NVA/VC units have other ideas for the area. They strike while the Americans are without their guns. Already, the main bunker has fallen to RPG fire.

Some Hue action,

NVA and VC units are holding a neighborhood of Hue.

A battalion of US Marines have been tasked with trying to retake the area

A company with M60 support begins to move forward

however, the NVA/VC were well dug in and had fortified their positions. With too much heavy fire coming down, the Marines were pinned down, and having lost their radioman, were unable to call in airstrikes or artillery. Eventually, the Marines were forced to withdrawl, without having been able to inflict too many casualties on the Vietnamese, however, they in turn hit the Marines hard. Next time, they will assault with tanks.
