| Vietnam. In a small corner of the world, one of the most bloody wars to be fought occurred in this small country in Southeast Asia. Traditionally framed as a war of small skirmishes, long patrols, and guerilla ambushes, there is a lot more that happened such as full-scale offensives and pitched battles.The US and its allies have all the advantages of mobility and firepower. The ubiquitous Huey helicopter has become a symbol the war itself as it carries troops into battle and unloads fire on the enemy. Heavily armed flotillas sail up the windy Mekong Delta, heavy tanks and M113 'tracks' bash their way through the jungle searching for enemy strongpoints, and resolute 'grunts' hold firebases against fierce enemy assaults... Meanwhile, the Nationalists have all the advantages of the home team. They fight as guerillas, choosing the time and place of major operations or surprise attacks and appearing from nowhere to ambush enemy hunting them. When the time is right, they even commit their tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and seasoned troops into the fray to achieve total victory. The 11th Armored Cavalry, known as the 'Blackhorse' Regiment, developed radical new tactics to combat an elusive and determined enemy. Conventional wisdom asserted that armour had little to no role to play in the jungles, deltas, and rough terrain of Vietnam. The Blackhorse Regiment proved conventional wisdom wrong. The regiment's unofficial motto, 'Find the bastards, then pile on', embodied their tactics for a highly mobile and heavily armed combined-arms force to seek out and destroy an unconventional enemy. Black Horse Armored Cavalry Troop Army Deal contains seven plastic M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, three M551 Sheridan Tanks, one M48 Patton Tank and two Decal Sheets. Box contains eleven vehickess. Miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. | Regular price
