I stumbled upon this I just thought I would share. Awesome table, amazing cabinets and I am guessing a whole lot of free time.





Here is a link to a forum post of his that has a lot more pics that are worth checking out: http://ilovewargameing.21.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2140

Hehe and ironically the young kid with the cap looks like Bunny.

I hope his grandkids realize how lucky they are!

Now the question is where did he get the cases? I would love some of that size.

Look at that guys collection of hats!

I was just thinking that. This guy not only has minis, he is a traditional "hat guy" grandpa. Hehe.

Vegas odds say "DIY".

Wow. That's pretty awesome. I want a room like this.

I wonder how the chppers are flying. I assume they are hanging by thin wire but it would be interesting to see the rigging that I guess is in the ceiling. It would have to be precise and they would have to be able to reach it.

That would be awesome to play on.

And in my basement even better man.

Man I would really love to look in those cases and I love the half boats. The flame and smoke in post production are a nice touch.

That my friends, is a life long mini player. Those historical players are insane.

Some day I will have a similar room.

I think its interesting the way that game is played compared to 40k. It doesnt appear to have strict movement and seems more cinematic. Also having an umpire is interesting, but that could just be a friendly club thing they do rather than a rulebook suggestion. I wonder what the rulesset they are using is called.

Also I only saw dice a couple times. I love that. I hate cluttered tables.

I think it'd get boring... playing on the same table every time.

Looks modular to me (at least the 6x4s are re-arrangeable and the greenery looks movable) and a nutter like that probably churns out a table every couple months.

Thanks for the second link.

I read through the whole of the first and thought it was a pretty boring game if it just ended with barely any NVA action.

That setup rules.

*Drools* puts my green-spraypainted 8x4 plywood-on-a-table to shame! Oh my gods, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my LIFE.

I love it that Gramps is actually dressed in military attire as well. You know, he might have been IN that war. Goes a long way toward getting the realism onto the table.

Great buttery Christ that is awesome. Someone should introduce that man to IG.

Hmm, wearing combat clothing for tabletop gaming is a step too far for me...

The owner of the closest game shop to me (more than an hour away) is vet and he is always wearing his pants and usually his jacket. Nothing wrong with it, they would do it if they were not wargamming.

Man, if I put that into my appartment, the entire living is filled!

PanzerSmurf, you win the trophy for most accident posts ever. Dear lord man!


Id game the hell out of that table. That guy is my hero

Vietnam games can be like that if you play it realistically and have an umpire controlling hidden NVA movement.

If you play a campaign (which I have) your behaviour as commander changes a lot. It becomes important to preserve your troops from one scenario to the next. You become more cautios than in a one-off scenario.

Very nice, would be a hoot to play on for sure. Something that size would need a damn sight many more than 6 turns though to do it justice.

Wow, all I can say, wow!

I was wondering this, too! Post here if anybody knows how they're using them...

Dedicated indeed. But, ah, who said anything about strings?

@ KingCracker: Yeah, tell me about it. Sigged by the way.

On topic: are those HU-1 hueys I see there on the first pic? What brand are they?
