Back to the 'Nam...Resistance Teams

Howdy everyone,

While I haven't been very active on 'the internets' over the past month or so, I have been working through the mountain of lead that is my workbench, in particular getting through my Main Force VC and enemy force for my Air Cav troops.

My first objective was to finish up some resistance teams...these look like an interesting force option for Flames of War and make the Free World forces jump through some hoops to clear them from the field.  IIRC they also provide some eyes on the ground for the Main Force VC commander.  For Force on Force and Ambush Alley, these stands will work as clusters of civilians for various scenarios.

I modeled mine after a combination of settings (paddies and village road)...there are some figs harvesting rice and there are many figures just working about looking 'inconspicuous'...I used some google-fu to get some rice paddy pictures and started from there.  The main challenge was building the paddy dikes and choosing the right type/combo of flock to simulate rice fields.

This was also the first time I'd used the Army Painter jungle clumps of grass...I like how they turned out and I do like how they changed up each of the bases.

As well, at the bottom I've included a quick preview of 13 other stands that are now just waiting for basing...

Enjoy and as always, advice and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

7 resistance teams...I have about 5 more that I will eventually finish.

Just some farmers off to the market or back from the fields with bundles of rice and firewood... 

Working the fields... 

Nothing to see here GI...nothing at all...

The Preview...

Command teams for the Battalion and 2 companies...RPG teams for both companies as well as recoiless rifle teams for the Battalion HQ...just waiting for the flock...
