That sounds like a great game! The helos en-masse look amazing!!

Heck of a game, looks like lots of casualties. Did you guys figure out KIA vs WIAs?

Another suspenseful game that looked great. You put a lot of effort not only in the game, but all of the photos and the report you create. Thanks.

Thanks guys Darby, the Crossfire / Incoming! rules I use use pinned, suppression and dead as the three casualty levels. It is assumed if a stand is pinned or suppressed that there are some wounded, but the stand is only removed from play upon a kill result and the victory points system counts the number of stands eliminated. There are medevac rules that cover casualties but I have not used them in a game yet.

This looks awesome! I have been wanting to try Crossfire for Vietnam. I love the rules for WWII.

Crossfire is ideal for Vietnam.

Didn't Mike Ruffle have a bunch of Crossfire variants for Nam over at Grunt! Online?

Oh yes - he has an events chart I hadn't noticed....

I just read the Helion publication Into the Iron Triangle about Attleboro. I also just a bit earlier read Marshall's Ambush which deals with part of it. When I have a chance I want to pull those out again and then re-read your AAR. I know you were doing a game which by necessities has its limitations, but I still want to look at them together. Marshall only covers a limited amount and it may not even include the action your game depicts.

Now all I have to do is find that time.

Now I have to dredge my memory - I think I based the game on Marshall's Ambush, which mentions the incident in question. The tabletop is just my imagination.
