No worries at all. Let me know if you have any further suggestions for the supplement or need anything further explained with the rules. Always willing to help. Just happy to see some NAM wargaming. Keep up the good work.

such a good blacksmith, he doesn’t even need a forge.

I talked to some military chaps some years back who told me the British had ‘advisors’ in Vietnam.

sadly not, been to a few of the big games but I missed out on that one.

saw some previews….even taken stance into the game…but weapons auto hit and do damage ! really not sure until i seen it fully played out….it seems weird in design

For Vietnam games. Plastic aquarium plants are your friend

@avernos Weren’t you at the big one me and Jerry ran at Dragonslayers?. I thought you had been

I know Jim is a big fan of papercraft terrain for getting impressive set ups on the table quickly and cheaply. It looks like that is another fine example of the card folders art 🙂

While the conflict has always excited me from a visual point of view I’ve never played a table top game in Vietnam, Often when watching movies like We Were Soldiers, I get the urge to do something but to date I’ve not gotten beyond the, “wouldn’t it be interesting to..” stage. It looks like this […]

Thanks very much, @donlou ! We try to communicate, entertain, and if we’re really lucky / successful, maybe educate just a little. 😀 Of course, I often learn a lot from the comments, and I’ve definitely learned tons about wargaming from the community as well.

Force-on-Force is probably my favorite post-1945 wargame. The troop quality mechanic at its base is very straight-forward, intuitive, and yet delivers such realistic results. Such differences in training and tactics of the MEN are so much more important in modern or modern-ish conflicts, rather than minutia on 5.56mm or 7.62mm or other technical…[Read more]

Wow, thanks very much for the links, @c0cky30 ! I’ll definitely give this a read and once I get a little familiar with it, perhaps a try.

Great start, can’t wait for the rest of the series. Have read quite a bit on Vietnam, looking forward to seeing your treatment of the subject.

Just putting this out there up front, some of the pictures I supplied Jim were taken by / with a friend Richard Covil (who’s forum name I don’t know) who deserves credit for the first “in game” picture on this article. My bad, sorry guys. Looking forward to another excellent series. Nam is a challenging […]

Awesome article I can’t wait to read the rest. Here in Australia we’re still trying to sort out Vietnam with some Veterans that served with 2nd D and E Platoon having to fight almost half a century to get the Government to admit they even existed. Vietnam was also our only war involving Conscription. Where […]
