The USMC ready to roll into Iraqi after freeing Kuwait
On Tuesday night Matt Varnish from the Dice Devils and I had the chance to play a game of Stopping the Red Tide. If you guys haven't seen the rule set, it takes the Battlefront Flames of War rules and modernizes them to 1986. You can check out his website at www.stoppingtheredtide.blogspot.ca We took it a step further and played with USMC and Iraqi National Guard Armies. I'm working on the battle report of it now but figured that everyone would like to see just how awesome the models look. I hope you enjoy.
The entire Iraqi tank army
OC with reactive armour and 2IC
T72 Platoon
Iraqi T55 reservists
Another platoon of T55 reservists
Surface to Air mobile guns
The Skipper (USMC slang for OC) and his 2IC
These are playing the role of Sea Knights but they are actually kit bashed Chinooks. I will have an article coming soon on how to build them (they only cost about $20 each)
TOW HWMMVs
Cobra Attack Helicopter
Marines and M60 tanks with reactive armour
Nice looking pics, very impressive...love your armies and the buildings!
ReplyDeleteNice kit man! Cool that you're getting into moderns. Some great looking figs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was so much fun to play. Wait till you see the battle report we took a ton of pictures.
ReplyDeleteThey look excellent. I like the burned out humvee objective as well.
