RFCM

I've had to re-order my entire modern collection (ALL Peter Pig) and Vietnam collection (all Flashpoint) after the figures all went missing a couple of moves ago.

If anyone's interested, this is the long and short of what happened (re-posted from FOF) and it was quite tragic.

QuoteI've moved alot over the years and in the past 10, I've moved more times than I care to admit. That said, I've been in my current place for over 3 years now and it feels more like home than many places I've been. When I finally settled in and decided I would get back into gaming, I took stock of the stuff that was in boxes I'd been lugging around over the years since splitting with my ex, and realized that ALL of my painted 15mm miniatures had disappeared with no explanation. All my Flashpoint US and VC figures, all my Peter Pig US Modern and Insurgent forces...... gone.

I usually keep very good track of my stuff, so I'm unsure how these could have went missing. The only saving grace was all my 15mm choppers and flight stands for both Nam and moderns were found. I'm more upset about the figures because painting 15mm was a right pain in the ass and I was happy I'd slogged through enough painting to have 2 full collections.

Everytime I see my vast collection of 15mm middle east buildings (painted) I think...... oh man.... to get to use those, I need to paint a crap load of minis. I have since bought back all the Peter Pig mini codes I'm missing, as well as jimmi helping me out with some Flashpoint packs, but geez.... so much painting to do to get my 15's back where they were. Needless to say, due to all the effort required, that project is waaaaaaay on the back burner for now.

No longer on the back burner, but a steep hill to climb. Thanks for listening.

That's the spirit Col. I have enough to keep me busy as well, but it won't stop me from keeping one eye out for previews at some point.

I was lucky enough to buy an entire village of the 28mm Vietnam range he did for Chiltern (already painted too!) and I love his work. Shortly thereafter I scored a bunker terrain piece. These are the jewels of collection. I wish he had've continued his ranges.

Neil, you posted these ages ago on Lead Adventure and I'll re-iterate my previous admiration for your work...... WELL DONE! I have smatterings in this period in 28mm and had never thought of it in 15mm until I saw your posts.

-Todd

Wow.... looks like I'm REALLY in the minority here. I do all my gaming (28mm AND 15mm) on a Kill Team size mat (22x30) which fits the coffee table in my small flat perfectly.

QuoteI am sure they had Hondas as early as 1780?  Better buy a new book.  That Honda propaganda

That's great news Martin. I can completely understand how time factors in, and I can only hold out hope that this reaches fruition at some point. Well... hoping they get done BEFORE you pack it in. And I'm too old to paint them. 

The Montagnards sound interesting. Perhaps you should join up at my community Fields of Fire and promote that. 

Martin,

We spoke ages ago about this via email and I was wondering if you gave anymore thought to doing some not Afghans (or Hill Tribesmen as you referred to them as)?

-Todd

Well you've certainly got it down to a fine art. My experience is limited to using bark nuggets from the garden shop to represent rocks in my terrain. Cutting pink foam to represent what you've done effectively, seems a daunting task.

-Todd

Neil, just saw this mine piece over at LAF. Incredible work!

Oh, I'm no stranger to PP miniatures. Been collecting them for many many years. 

Col, thanks for the welcome.

QuoteI had stumbled across Fields of Fire [https://fieldsoffire.forumotion.com/, presumably - don't be shy!] occasionally, but now see that it has had a revamp

Yes the old forum on Tapatalk was all but abandoned mainly due to the poor layout and lack of options. We re-booted the community last spring and it's really taken off. Currently we're closed to guests and you must be registered to view the forum, but that's because we had too many "ner-do-wells" and it was becoming a security concern.

QuoteAre you sure we can't tempt you to try the RFCM Vietnam game...?

I'm a man to man skirmish guy and I'm pretty set in my ways rules wise (a hyrbid d6 skirmish system me and some mates use for pretty much everything). I DID own the MOCB rules at one time though, ages ago.

QuoteI hope you enjoy your time on this Forum.

Thanks Simon. Much appreciated.

Heya guys. I didn't see a proper thread for new members to say hello, so figured this was the next best thing.

I recognize alot of names here from other forums, and some of you may know me from my Vietnam wargaming community "Fields of Fire". I don't play RCFM rules, but I am a HUGE fan of the Peter Pig figure range, and these make up 100% of my modern/AK47 forces.

Anyway, hello to all.
