AAR: Nam'68 Mission 1: Village search and Sweep

Image
I finally got to run a game of Nam’68 with two mates of mine visiting the scorching hot(!) north. We rolled up a Search and sweep scenario with 5 search points, sweeping down a main road in the late evening(the approaching night sub-plot). I gave them a reinforced squad and a M60 team (dividing the two fireteams between them and sharing the M60 team), a slap on the back and let them out into the jungle. Oh yeah and a partly generated Mission briefing to set the scene (not necessary to read): MISSION BRIEFING • Date: 14 January 1968 • Location: Village of Phu Lac, Quang Ngai Province, South Vietnam • Unit: 1st Platoon, Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 5th cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.

As a long time fan of Warwick Kinrade's excellent ww2 ruleset Battlegroup, I was very much intrigued by his latest new ruleset, Nam'68. It sure reads like something I haven't tried before, especially the way it creates non-symmetrical battles. It will be some time before I'm ready to set up a game. I don't have any suitable jungle terrain pieces lying around, tho I'm slowly working on trying to rectify that. What I have finished is a fire team of US infantry, and a handful of Vietcong fighters, with more on the way. For Nam'68, that's enough figures to get a game going. I went with Flames of war 15mm scale 'Nam figures as they are reasonably easy to get a hold on in the EU, but I'm also pleasantly surprised by their quality, great looking sculpts all around!           I've alwa...
