Wargaming Recon recently received a review copy of the new book by Michael Farnworth, titled Modeling and Painting Vietnam Wargames published by Military Miniature Press. They appear to be a relatively new company and based on the quality of this book, it will be worth seeing what they have releasing in the future.
Overview
This book is broken down into 4 chapters and an Appendix. The book says that it is designed for experienced wargamers and modelers. I may agree, but I found it a good resource for getting into the Vietnam War era of gaming. There are numerous pictures of miniatures on the tabletop and actual photos located throughout the book. Many of the figures pictured have a caption citing the manufacturer and painter. This makes it much easier to find a particular figure if you see one you really like.
One feature of the appendix that stood out are links to all the manufacturers mentioned in the book. The PDF version allows you to click the links and go straight to the website to get hands on specific figures even quicker. The softcover of the book does not have the embedded links, but you can still get the web addresses and contact information for the companies.
