The NVA used quite a lot of banners for morale and command reasons. This is again a Indo China range figure by Empress miniatures.

NVA HQ signals bugler
This is the HQ bugler of my NVA platoon. The NVA used buglers quite often to relay orders in the field. The figure is again from the Empress miniatures Indo China range.
Will post more these days, to get your thoughts from Corona! Stay safe Stay at home!

This is the medic of my first NVA platoon. He is from the French Indo China range from Empress miniatures. Fits in quite nicely with the new NVA range.

More Elefant grass
We had a game on my Vietnam war table at the weekend. I haven’t managed to sort the pictures I took so instead here are a few pictures of additional terrain pieces for the table. pictures of the game will follow during the week.
I build some strips of elephant grass to add to the elefantgrass I already have. I made them in the same way as the rest.
The pieces:
And with miniatures ( Empress marines) for size comparison:
In situ on the table:
Back to more VC on the trail
Another NVA soldier by Empress miniatures painted up as a VC.
More to come.
Another Charlie in the bush
The last figure in this batch. Another Empress NVA painted up as a VC complete with red scarf!
Next up will be a couple of Bell UH-1C choppers for my Marines!
The black pyjama
I know that the Vietnamese figures from Empress depict NVA and not VC. But i thought after weeks on the Ho Chi Min trail the original uniform might have been unserviceable and the soldiers would wear what ever they could find. So I painted the clothes in the black color of the VC fighters. After all they might have provided their brother NVA after there long trek south. So here he is a NVA soldier in the traditional VC black. Painted mainly in GW contrast colors.
More danger in the jungle
At least for the US Marines . One more NVA Soldier. Only 6 more and I finished all the figures I got during the first release of these figures in summer 19. I am a slow painter I know.
After these 6 I will do some more US Marines , the third squad of my platoon and then the NVA soldiers I got at Crisis 19. There will be the things like a Huey etc in between , oh, and of course more jungle!
