Bolt Action Vietnam – Jungles fights July 21, 2018


Last week end Antonio and Maurizio prepared a great scenario inspired to Vietnam fights.

In the last months they worked hard to prepare a version of Bolt Action that can work for this kind of setting, and, as it is possible to see below, their work had a good result.

Below a Bell AH-1 Cobra in preparation and…



… the same model finally in action during the game


but also the Viet player prepared his secret weapons



The mission they prepared was easy to better test the rules …  and now a short battle report

During a recon mission, some US troops found a significant concentration of Viet not very far from a little village




After the recon starts the real game

Viet forces were under the control of Antonio, Enrico and Eugenio while US troops were deployed by Maurizio and Giancarlo. All miniatures are 20mm and they are painted by Maurizio (USA) and Antonio (Vietcong).

Viet forces have to evacuate the village using the street at the bottom of the photo


The first Viet move is an escape and…



… the American players try to stop them with the armored forces



Unfortunately, the first platoon that leave the M132 is heavy attacked by the Viet veterans hide into the village



and also the American tank is hit and destroyed after some turns


Viet forces continue their advance



and Us units slow down them with the artillery



And with a suicide attack of M132


it is time for the Americans to show their military power



but the American losses are too high and they have to go back




To conclude a cameo prepared by Maurizio inspired by "Apocalypse now"

Bolt Action Vietnam – Jungle fights May 25, 2019; June 10, 2019


In recent times Antonio and Maurizio organized a monthly battle scenario inspired to Vietnam war.

The Warlord Games has not a specific rule system for this period so my mates worked on a thematic rule set that they tested in different games with good results.
Unfortunately, I could not take part of the games but my friends sent me some pictures that I want to share.

Miniatures are 20mm. The USCM are painted by Maurizio while the Viet are prepared by Antonio.

First of all … the table they prepared for the games. In both matches the target of the US troops were to take the control of the villages … on contrary Viet had to keep free the objectives.


Below some pictures of the battle scenes
The USCMs enter in the villages




With the cover of a mortar


A Viet company moves across the paddy fields to block the enemy while …


… a second group of USCMs are arriving with their BELLs



some Viet companies are waiting the enemies in ambush



A cobra enters in the game but Viet are prepared


An American artillery piece starts to fire


An American M113 enters in the village to take the wounders …  


… but Viet are ready with their RPG


An American company enters on the field with the cover of the jungle …


… but a Viet tank is waiting them 


To close all these pictures two photos of the heroes of these battles
The Americans: Maurizio and Andrea


And the Viet-congs: Luca and Antonio
