Off They Go!

Strange Encounter by Roy Grinnell

After some great communication with Kevin Hammond of Miscellaneous Miniatures, I have shipped to him my Raiden aircraft for both the Vietnam and 1948 Arab-Israeli projects, both are for Check Your 6! The Vietnam project is based on the Crusaders Over 'Nam scenario book, and the 1948 planes are from the Wargames Illustrated 310 article "War of Catastrophe and Independence" written by Rob Wubbenhorst, along with an extra online scenario he created. The aircraft I have will allow me to do three of the six available scenarios. One day I'll have to order a few extra aircraft in order to game all six. Regardless, I'll have some options for hosting events, particularly at the Check Your 6! Game Day held in Dayton every June.

New Decals From Miscellaneous Miniatures

VF-211 decals, from Miscellaneous Miniatures website

Just popped over to the Miscellaneous Miniatures website and what do I find? Recently released 1/285th scale decals for Crusaders and Skyhawks, for units that are in some of the Crusaders Over 'Nam scenario book. Talk about serendipity! Time to get those lovely Raiden planes I received a few days ago sent off to be painted!

Another Crusader Scenario

I pulled out the Check Your 6! Jet Age rules last night to go over how missiles work in the rules (I have pretty much only gamed non-missile actions thus far), and forgot that there was another Vietnam scenario in the rules featuring Crusaders. Actually, it is a different version of a scenario that appears in Crusaders Over 'Nam, but different enough that I consider it the twelfth scenario using Crusaders. This one also has four A4s, so I guess in my next I-94 order I'll grab some Raiden A4s!
