Using AirWar: C21 miniature rules, from Wessex Games and some 1/600 scale mini's today there was an F-105F leading two F-105D's on a Vietnam-era strike on an enemy POL site consisting of three POL tanks. The site was within the envelope of a defending SA-2b battery.

 

The SAM site and wild weasel engaged each other the same turn/fire phase. The SAM battery volley fired three missiles at the WW, the WW let loose an AGM-45A Shrike.

 

The next fire phase the Wild Weasel was able to evade, while the Shrike scored a hit on the SAM radar set, effectively suppressing and blinding them.

 

Over the next two turn/phases the two F-105D's scored a single DP with an AGM-12B, and them dropped a gaggle of M-117 750lb bombs scoring 12DP effectively destroying the entire target. I had assigned each tank 3DP defense/armor.

 

I had two MiG-21 "on call" rolling a d10 each Prep Segment to see if they would arrive on the table. Success if they rolled the turn number or less. They did not make an appearance this afternoon.

Thanks Pete, always nice when the 'good guys' win. Do we get to see AAA in the near future?

Triple A, absolutely. Just I have no models in scale yet other than a scratch modeled Sa-2 launcher that I slapped together with parts of a round toothpick and a wooden match stick. Appropriately painted white and russian green respectively.

Here are some F-105 photos from last week. There are also already painted F-8 Corsair II, and Mig-21, with some others on deck. They are 1/600 scale aircraft from Tumbling Dice's Vapor Trail line. I ordered them from Dom's Decals. Also of interest is pico armor, a US supplier of Oddzial Osmy 1/600 models as well.

Need to work on toning down the glossy finish. Also working on national insignia decals. I have slapped them on one of the F-105's's. Not certain if I like them enough to continue with the others.
