Finally Played a Small Vietnam Game

I ran a small game to test some rules modifications over the weekend.  A meeting engagement that ended up being almost an even trade.  Not a lot to it, but posted some pics and description of the firefight on my blog.

Hopefully a precursor to more involved battles later this year.  Thanks for looking.

Even though it was small it was still fantastic, as well as realistic. I love it!
Pulling back after a couple of casualties or even losing fire superiority should be a thing in more games (rather than fighting to the last man as sometimes occurs). To me spotting rules are a must, and it sounds like you have them down perfectly so that automatically puts your rules miles above most! In your rules what do leaders or command do?

Good looking table.

Thanks guys.

Don't know about having them down perfectly, I probably should lose points for having the squads at full strength.

Leaders have a Leadership rating/bonus. Once a unit is under fire, a leadership tests are taken for the unit to follow orders that put them in harms way. Additionally, leaders can impact morale rolls. Training and experience play a part in deciding the discipline of the troops, and that ties into the command and morale issues.

Great looking table - I like the little trails. Laid using sand?

Thanks. I just used a little yellow flock on the trails.

Your game looks great. Both the table and the AAR. I hope more AARs will be coming.

Nice to see 20mm on this site. I remember when it predominated here.

Ummmm...... that's SMALL Brian??

Seriously, looks great. Somehow I missed this post.

Well, small in scope, just a couple of squads.

Thanks.
