This counts as "on my table" right?  Just need to make my way through the rules and clip 8 sheets of counters....

It's our crappy forum software and our drunken IT people that causes that.

Front Toward Enemy


I've just realised the map is laid out with East at the top - so I need to change it qround...but you get the gist - US team has to get past the NVA. Hard to see how this'll work!

I'm finding it hard to get into this. It's been on the table since last weekend and I haven't touched it.


Trouble is, the mission seems like it's going to be pretty boring. It's 12 truns and yet I can't see how you'd run 12 turns out of it. I've got to get from the right hand side to the left. I've got 5 movement points, 9 if I use double time, I have to get past a considerable NVA unit...the NVA officer can activate all surrounding squads.



It's just a starting scenario - I can skip it...I don't really want to though. But I wish their intro mission was a bit more inspiring. A bigger map to give some scope with additional forces.

I could be missing something but it doesn't look boring to me. Looks like those guys are in for a hell of fight if they are to make it all the way across the map with those enemy forces moving in.

It just seems once sided and not "a battle". I'm not going to be able to avoid the NVA - that's fine. I want a fight. But I've got 2 US units and a leader against 6 NVA units, a leader and an MG unit.

Kind of seems like it'll be over in turn one or two.

Having said that, the game mechanics could make casualties light.

I'll play it through and report back.

Sounds like a good training scenario, few units, get the basics of moving and fighting down before adding more chrome into the mix.
