Vietnam 1967 Mekong River Wargame 

I miss the old guys who played historical games at our local game store. They were so much fun and they always had unique models and lively settings.

The revolutionary tips had me. Not even finished video and enjoying it loads.

I play a lot of battletech, but you guys are really convincing me to branch out into historical war gaming. This medevac mechanic is very interesting. Would like to see more of this, and maybe some ww1 or civil war battles

Always love the costumes and creativity and everything you guys bring to this channel. Would love to see more medieval or WWI aviation stuff!

Even though Greg isn’t in front of the camera, you can see all the effort in the production, editing, and sound. Fantastic work from all involved, high quality videos like this are the best ambassadors for the hobby.

Having grown up during the Vietnam War (HS class of 1974 - the last class to actually go down to a draft board and register for a draft card, which I still have) and as a gamer, I have always wanted to game that conflict, but haven’t made the investment. This was a great video that fed my interest and wetted my appetite for Vietnam War gaming. BTW, when I lived in Montgomery AL in 1981-83 I was a CW reenactor. In my ACW unit was a Navy Vietnam Veteran of the Mekong Riverine force stationed on the Cambodian border, protecting a helicopter barge. He told stories of standing watch at night, peering through a night scope and seeing the VC come down to the opposite riverbank to fire RPGs at the barge and parked helicopter. There’s a scenario!

My dad served in C Company 2nd Battalion 60th Infantry Regiment with his tour being December 1966-1967. Excellent game there.

Way to memories flood back. Welcome home to those who spent time with me in the Nam.

This was fan-freaking-tastic! We used to do some Vietnam gaming back in the day, but our table never looked nearly as superb as this does. You can tell the love put into this terrain. Kudos to you guys on another great game and video (and the Revolutionary quotes by Comrade Ed were brilliant!). As for what to do next, would love to see a more in-depth terrain tutorial on this one, especially more on how you made the river; we are planning on doing Aspern-Essling in the future and would love to mimic this for the not-so-blue flooding Danube. Great stuff guys!

The award has to be for the best wargame soundtrack to date! Loved it! Game on!

Great game with awesome terrain and setup. The background before the game definitely adds a lot of flavor to the play through. This recipe that you guys use is highly entertaining. It would be interesting to see almost a full unedited version versus an edited version of one of your games. It would be great to see some more episodes that are based on pre gunpowder battles.

Great video ! Loved the period era music as well.

Unbelievable what a great atmosphere you have conjured up on the table.The whole video was excellently produced and the historical background was presented in a great way. I really enjoyed it Thank you all from LWTV for the Entertainment

Should be talking with the men who fought on the Rivers while they are still with us

Thanks for sharing these videos. I have just started war gaming because of y’all. Thanks.

This is exactly why I love your channel. A great game, great table and a superb well put together video. You all look like you genuinely had a great day. I must admit that I much prefer seeing your club games, and all the banter, than some of the other content (Caesars, other clubs etc though I appreciate that this is for the good of the hobby). I look forward to watching more in-house club games :-)

That panning shot at 21:23 with the helicopters landing at White Beach and with Miles out of focus in the background was my favorite moment in a great video. I don't have a particular request for your future efforts. I mean, I wouldn't have picked a Vietnam battle, and here it is on my list of one of the top videos you've done. I trust your club's instincts! :-)

Tom's Mekong Delta board - Fantastic! Very well executed! The 'Dust Off" and the 113s were also very cool! But for me the coolest moment of the scenario was when the A4 Skyhawks made their napalm runs!...Run Charlie run lol! The period music was the "icing on the cake"! Bravo Little Wars TV! Bravo!

MORE VIETNAM!!! Awesome work on this, absolutely amazing

You guys are incredible! History, comedy, battle play, great music, sound effects and length. The table was stunning. The figures were well painted. Absolutely loved it!

As a Riverine Force player this was awesome! The table was fantastic and it really looked like a fun time had by all. Historical themed battles are the bomb!

I've watched a bunch of LWT battle reports now and I just love the style you've settled on of 20-30 min videos narrated with historical context at the beginning. It's just much more digestible than a real time or even an hour long video showing every dice roll. Keep up the good work 🙂

What a gorgeous table and battle, really enjoyed that! The smoke/explosion effects are me favorite :D

This was awesome more Vietnam please!

When I was a teen I would buy green (more like stems and seeds) from an old head who was a Vietnam vet. Everytime I would get cornered for an hour or so as he told me the same stories over and over because he was always baked out of his mind. Tbh, they never got old. He had a way of telling a story. Your channel has that same feel. This batrep sent me down memory lane, I thank you.

Sooooo looking forward to watching it after studies today😍😍, hope ur reviewing the miniatures as well this time:)) the rules review is probably coming next week right?!

My Australian mother in law was a casevac sister flying in on C130’s. Her pilot said to her that he carried a pistol and if they crashed and survived, he would shoot her rather than she fall into enemy hands. She said that he’d have to shoot her in the back as she’d be running away!! She brought back many wounded and dying men back to Oz. Great game and well done on the table, absolutely fabulous! Regards!

Nice video of the battle--always love hidden deployment (and its very appropriate for Vietnam).

Great video guys. This table is beautiful.

One of the best AARs you guys have published! The table was amazing and the models were too. The whole thing is inspirational to me. I especially like Ed's Revolutionary Tips. Nice touch!

Many, many years ago I began wargaming with the late Charles Grant in Dover UK. In the 90’s I was a very active wargamer in the UK but have since strayed from the fold. Your shows are brilliant and have rekindled my love of the hobby. Bravo! Well done chaps!

No fortunate son in the intro? for shame. JK love to see you guys do less well known battles.

Love seeing Veronica in more stuff! Those ambushes were great. I'd be happy to see more hidden unit battles and specifically Vietnam era scenarios. Really has a lot of planning for both sides going in which is really fun to watch!

The minis look so good !

I ADORE the style of your videos! The mix of beautiful boards, lovely humor and just pure entertainement!

Gorgeous terrain and another exciting game from Little Wars TV. Well done.

Love your gaming room ❤️

Drat! I was at the point of selling my 15mm Vietnam collection having not played the period for some twenty years or so. I think you guys may have persuaded me to keep them...

Really captured the essence and period of this conflict. Love the table and the revolutionary quotes! Could you do a 12th century crusades battle like Arsuf or Horns of Hattin?

Absolutely fantastic video, very informative, and well produced! It was a pleasure to play on this very table at historicon 2021!

That scene at 1:00 brought back memories. I was platoon RTO for 3rd platoon, Co E, 4/47th Bn, 2nd Bde, 9th Inf Div from the first week in May, 1968. I was a replacement for casualties from the Tet Offensive. I arrived in the middle of the May Offensive (VC/NVA attacking Saigon and lots of other towns again). May, 1968 had the most casualties of any month of the entire conflict but nobody talks much about that battle. At the end of May I was one of 12 survivors in 3rd platoon and an accepted combat veteran. We got replacements during June and July but were hit hard again in August during the Phase III Offensive. I know you have never heard of that one. I was finally wounded by an RPG-7 on 8/18/1968 in a river ambush, but was patched up in the field and finished the operation. We started out that day with 25 or 26 grunts. After the ambush I was one of the 4 who walked away from the ATC. We were hit regularly again for a while and I somehow survived until my platoon leader returned from the hospital and pulled me out of the field to work with him in S-2 brigade intelligence. I didn't think I would survive combat and just wanted it to be a quick death. Imagine my surprise to return home and start college in fall 1969. I love the models but probably wouldn't enjoy playing this game. I assembled a few of these miniatures and used the ATC number for the Tango I was on in that river ambush. I met the guy who was driving it, the boat captain and a few others who survived at an MRFA reunion in 2013. Thanks for keeping those days alive and remembering that we did our best.

Top work folks! Great game, wonderful terrain and models, and of course, great head-gear!

You all have taken this to the next level. This was such a great video. I enjoyed every moment of it and I would have happily spent my entire lunch hour watching more.

Fantastic video! It's got me wanting to play the Vietnam War now. Interestingly, my friend at the local wargames club here in New Zealand sculpted many of those figures for Battlefront, so it's really amazing to see them being used all the way over in the USA

brilliant !!! fantastic terrain, game layout and video. loved every minute , keep them coming :-)

The quality of this video has progressed so much from your initial efforts. Working with professionals is really making a difference. Fantastic game and look forward to many more from you guys.

Beautiful work guys, thanks for posting this

Wonderful narration and flow of the story! Thank you!

Watched this before playing some tabletop games myself! Excellent video, and great music throughout!

Great video and game. Beautiful table. Thoroughly enjoyable. Top notch all the way around as usual.

Y'all have done some great games on the channel, but this was on another level. So well done, and thanks for all y'all do for the hobby.

What a beautiful looking game! Well painted troops and vehicles on both side and the terrain - wow! A great AAR. Loved the Revolutionary Tips.

You guys do an amazing job!! So much fun watching your battles!

Another excellent video. Beautiful table, and I love the overview you present of the historic battles. Great work.

Nice game! Great looking table! Tom, you did a great job with the hidden units. Thank you Little Wars TV for this quality content!

You guys have gotten me into historical wargaming, I personally enjoy all the time periods you have done.

That is a fantastic table, film set quality! Brilliant report.

Very Cool! You guys make it look easy, but clearly a tremendous amount of work went into making that absolutely gorgeous table!

Love this setting, fingers crossed there's more content on Vietnam

Great Video... Loved the music and the revolutionary tips!

I loved your video you should do another Vietnam video like death valley from " We were Soldiers" idk if it's a actual battle but I loved the revolutionary tips and they where funny I also loved the heli models and the evac system and when the boats came down the river. ( This is for the drawing for infantry company )

another great production from the channel. great job guys!

Great video everyone. I loved the way you captured the feel of the period with backing music and Ed's 'little red book' of quotes not to mention some awesome terrain.

Great Game team. Always enjoy the content and seeing what a real club looks like.

Loved this. I love playing FoW from Battlefront and have long had my eye on the 'Nam rules. This video just makes me want it more. Beautiful table, I felt it really captured the Mekong, or at least what it seems like it was supposed to be like. Well played game. Loved it.

I believe - for me at least - this is my favorite of all your many excellent AARs. Terrain was top notch, a challenging scenario with a lot of well painted troops. Looked like a lot of fun to play. Great job and hope to see more Vietnam games down the road. I'd hate to think you made that magnificent table for just ONE game.

Awesome looking terrain and troops! Plus amicable players and a video that was put together extremely nicely!

Beautiful terrain board! Excellent playthrough vid as always.

Just got to say, I love the detail terrian work and bomb and smoke additions. little things like that bring table top wargaming alive.

Been looking forward to this one, and it didn't disappoint :D I also liked the way you handled the history as well, something you guys do exceptionally well, an almost unbiased approach which is genuinely refreshing to see. Keep up the good work, you have a devoted follower here

Amazing video guys. Lovely table, great models.

This was a great video. Wonderful background and history.

Great work! Love learning new bits of history.

Always happy to see more little wars

Another absolutely great video and battle! Brilliant battle area, the detail was fantastic!

This is one of the best looking games LWTV have ever put on. It's inspired he to dig out my 15mm collection once again. I am sure I've got some Gomi Design riverine stuff somewhere in the garage............

Impressed as always with the way you bring games to life on the tabletop. Stunning quality board and miniatures. Proud to be a patreon of the best channel for promoting our hobby of tabletop miniatures games!

Haven't watched your channel in quite some time and was left with a big smile at the end of the video, thanks again for amazing content!

Top quality video as always gentlemen and gentlelady.

My favorite vid from you guys so far.... Very cinematic, felt like I was watching a Vietnam movie!

Awesome board, from the terrain and smoke markers to the infantry and models. Loved the use of MEDEVAC (I was MEDEVAC for over half my 27yrs...most of it in Hueys), and really liked that their use is in the rules. You all always put on excellent games (videos and conventions); not just in going over the rules, but also going over the historical aspect as well. I'm new to Little Wars TV, so now I have to check out all your other videos...especially if you have ones on how to make the awesome terrain you had on this table. Thanks for the show...looks like I just found another game system to get into!

Great video gang! Great use of period music too!

The field of play Is beautiful looking! It's incredible how Much care and passion you put!

Fantastic scenario and video. The terrain is amazing.

Great video as always! Keep up the good work.

Well done LWTV!!!! You have truly outdone your selves!

Great work again and excellent umpiring

One of my favourite videos yet!

Yesssss! Fortunate Son with the Heli Landing. Good stuff as always, love love love it!

Great episode. I loved the revolutionary quotes!

Fantastic video! I really enjoyed it!

Great Battlereport! Enjoyed it very much. I Especially like These introductions, which helps me understand the whole thing 😊👍

Man the revolutionary quotes killed me lol loved this video! Great to meet some of you at H-con

Would love a tutorial video on making the river and other terrain features.

You guys look like you have so much fun making these videos. I love it!

I love how you held off using 'Fortunate Son' until the Helicopters Reinforcements arrived. That was the perfect timing for it!

Excellent video! The board and terrain are absolutely beautiful. The miniatures are nicely painted too. The fun hats, historical quotes by Ed, napalm and explosions, and period music took this over the top. The Vietnam War has so many good gaming opportunities. I hope you do many more videos on this war. Thanks for a very cinematic experience.

Another well done scenario. I do not need to repeat what others have said. I always look forward to your videos as they introduce me to rulesets, miniature scales and periods I may otherwise overlook. Keep up the great work!!

Awesome models! You guys produce such great videos!

Good job on this Battle Report!
