This weekend we started playtesting…

Nam 68 will focus on a single US platoon and its 12 month tour of duty.

One (or more) player(s) will lead the platoon through patrols, engagements, and clashes with a hostile enemy force as they try to subdue the enemy prescence in their area of operations.

The other player, will take the part of the Viet Cong and be tasked with appearing from the shadows to cause maximum injury to the enemy.

The US soldiers will never know what they will face on a mission until the firing starts.

The game can be played as a one off game or, as really intended, as a 12 game campaign representing a units Tour of Duty in Vietnam.

Lock and load… its Nam 68.

So by month three in the playtest campaign…

3rd squad went out on patrol and got jumped by some VC. Luckily the LT and the Platoon Sarge were with them and an M60 team.

One fire team got badly pinned down behind a low wall, and the FNG took a round between the eyes on his first trip out…

But the LT called in the 81 Mike-mikes and nailed a bunch of Gooks on the road. Specialist Orlando once more proved his worth taking down a VC with a round from his Remington.

We lost one dead, but had five dead VC and two more blood trails…

Back in base, the LT got word the VC are bugging out of the area, but Mitch McConnell managed to shoot himself while cleaning his .45 pistol. He is the third guy we have lost outside of combat, Private Nunnly the LTs RTO trod on a mine while walking the base perimeter. Not much of him to send home…
