‘The Battle of Laim Val Pass’

The Battle of Laim Val Pass

This was the first of a three game wargame fought over a weekend that saw SADF forces look to take and occupy a pass in Southern Angola.

The photographs show the first game in action. Here SADF forces were testing the FAPLA defences as a prelude to a main assault that would hit from the South.....

The FAPLA vehicles and armour are a mixture of Ace and Revell. The figures mainly Revell Viet Cong.

The SADF figures are Revell German Paratroopers and the vehicles Airfix and Baxmod. Chris Baxter’s SADF vehicles are excellent for wargaming.

The terrain has been collected over the years and the veldt was suitably shaved teddy bear fur!!
