Gringo 40s 28mm Vietnam Special Forces Figures - Review

 Gringo 40s 28mm Vietnam 

SOG - Excellent Service




About two weeks ago I put in an order for a variety of MACV SOG figures from Gringo 40s in the UK. They were shipped within a few days and arrived at my door within six days! They were packaged very well which I deeply appreciate.





The figures are simply incredible. The detail is excellent, next to no flash, and no mold lines, so I just had to glue them to bases after I opened the figures. I prime black and then do a dry brush in white for a zenithal effect and here is what they look like after the white brings out the details.



I can't wait to finish them! I will be ordering again and I highly recommend Gringo's Vietnam range.

Modeling and Painting Vietnam Wargames is an incredible resource for players interested in gaming the Vietnam War or the war in French Indochina. Even gamers with a current collection can glean valuable information and inspiration from this book. The book is incredibly wel

Five Core 3rd Edition: Skirmish Gaming Evolved Period(s) : 20th century, modern, future.  Publisher : Nordic Weasel Games Where can I find it : www.wargamesvault.com  Cost : PDF $14.95 The Skinny Complexity : 5/10  Rating : 4/5 - Excellent despite its flaws In one sentence : A very innovative set of rules which is only slightly let down by the writing and layout of the book. Overview Five Core 3rd edition is the latest edition of the Five Core system. It is usable for any man-to-man combat in the 20th and 21st centuries as well as any science fiction setting. I have personally used the WWII version, Five Men at Kursk  to game WWII, but you can totally do WWII with this set, but you would be missing out on some of the particular details. The game is quite innovative and rewards proper small-unit tactics to win. You need to suppress the enemy and outflank their positions which will force them to fall back or risk being annihilated. It covers all the weapon types you would want, inc
