Thanks Chris!

I saw redlegs post earlier regarding today being the US Armys birthday! Made me want to take some pics!

Armored column moving down the road

Word on the radio says a possible VC force spotted. Column comes to a halt.

Column opens up with .50 Cal MGs to soften the target area with a M48s laying down HE rounds.

Wow Dude! I saw this on my phone and I had to go to the computer to take a closer look. I was convinced that these were real photos of Vietnam and you just photoshopped the aircraft stand in! Your work is just amazing!

Thank you panzergator! I never now what is too much or not enough. I kind of resort to publishing all the pics here in my thread now as to not bother others on other threads. I just post highlights in those threads. I tend to take a number of photos and hope that the camera/pic will pick something up that I potentially missed.

So I picked up some new tree types and in various colors. Thought I would see what a new jungle/forest tile would look like. I also created a new tile with palms and grass. Step by stepâ€¦

Obviously dryingâ€¦ (pre top seal dullcote)

As dense as I wanted to goâ€¦ I had to also keep in mind that this is for a game that represents a jungle atmosphere, perhaps not actual. I still need to make sure there is room for units/forces to make their way through the terrain.

Tile 2 â€“ Palms (pre weathering)

Combined for testing

So I am working on testing new village setups as well. Huts/buildings are easyâ€¦ But I wanted to slowly starting adding items you would seeâ€¦ first off if the animal pen and with it, a village well for water.

Village, ground level with the shed being the focal point

Village hexes combined

Don't taunt him like that, Chris! This guy will be putting mice in the fields if we don't reign him in!

I stepped away for a while - man you have been busy! It gets more realistic as you do more, really excellent work.

Whereâ€™s the downed USAF plane and pilot?? Good objective market?
