HARON, ?

master preview for Orion's Vietnam sets? any clue for UR coming subjects?

Re: HARON, ?

I can show nothing. it isn't ready.

Re: HARON, ?

Hi Haron,

Any tentative release date for the Vietnam War Figures? And how many types of figures?

What sets are you planning ?

What type of sets? US - Infantry? Marines? Seals? Green Berets?
South Vietnamese - ARVN? Rangers?
Australians?
Communist - NVA? VC?

I will definitely buy any sets you make for the Vietnam War. I would also really like to see sets for the first Indochina War - French Foreign Legion Paratroopers, Infantry, and Viet Minh.

Haron, good luck with your project!

Re: What sets are you planning ?

There'll be a wargaming show in the beginning of December where we'll do a Vietnam game - Haron, if there's any chance of releasing the figs in early November (low chance, I know...), I could paint them up and bring to the show to let people see what's new in 1:72 Vietnam ;)

Re: What sets are you planning ?

7 sets

Re: What sets are you planning ?

Hi Haron,

Let me make a wild guess:

1. US Army Infantry Set 1?
2. US Army Infantry Set 2?
3. US Special Force?
4. US Marines?
5. South Vietnamese Army?
6. Viet Cong?
7. North Vietnamese Army?

Hi Haron,

Hope the US figures will be lower priority as they are already done once. What I'd like to see in this order:
1. Vietcong - with old equipment, rifles, SMGs, an LMG
2. Australians - M16s, SLRs, relevant machine guns
3. NVA - various assault rifles and machine guns
4. NVA Sappers and support weapons - SMG armed guys, heavier machine guns like a Maxim or a DSK, recoilless rifle, mortar
5. US support weapons - mortars, heavier machine guns, recoilless rifles, rocket launchers
6. South Vietnamese - with Garands or M1 Carbines
7. ARVN Rangers

US Army or Marines are somewhat low on priority for me...hope they won't make 4 of those 7 sets American, it'd be a waste of potential :(
