Joe, From alt.war.vietnam ... I don't know what "PPS" means. We had radar on Jamie (B 2/19 Arty, 1ACD) in about June '69. We were north of Tay Ninh,...

Hello, Kent. How soon are you planning to do this? I am working on the Viet Nam version of my man-to-man rules that I developed for the Old West. It's a...

The place was over-run by both the NVA and rats. The rats were worse. To: vietgaming@...: zennine@...: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:49:58...

Logical, and funny...:) On the serious side, does anyone actually know how useful these early GSR radars were in Vietnam? There seemed to be quite a few...
I remember a temporary LZ in Cambodia where they used ground rader, and the terrain resembled a golf course. And the NVA launched a ground assault that nobody...

Hi Guys, I hope I¹m not intruding. I¹m not a spammer, just a small business owner trying to spread some news where I think the spreading might do some good. ...
And yet I have seen photos of these things set up on top of the M113s on their tripods. Doesn't take them above tree level of course, but in the lowlands it...
It just occurred to me that the ground radar was not being used to observe troop movements, but to track in-comming ordinance. I know they told us that one...

Thanks Mark. Looks most interesting although we use miniatures rather than counters. Still, its the rules that count. Greg ... good. ... Œn Load ... immediacy...
Thanks, Greg. I¹m a big miniatures fan myself. One day, I hope to put out a set of Forgotten Heroes miniatures rules. Oddly enough, I bought some 15mm (Peter...
If you mean what types of tanks might have been used then it was by and large ARVN M48A3s and M41s versus NVA T-34s, T-54/55s, PT-76s, and Type 63s. There is...
Alex, I'd like to know a bit more about Jamie being overrun, if you have the time and inclination to spin a yarn. I recently met a Montagnard man who was in 3...
That's great news Mark, I've been thinking of looking into FH, but was waiting for the new addition. For rules using minis, I'd just leave out stacking and...
Frontage... yep, I think that is the only way to do it. ... From: Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of darbyeckles Sent:...
Or put stands closer together as stacking is showing a higher troop density within a finite amount of space (the hex and whatever distance it represents.) ...
... Actually, in our World at War series, which is platoon-level combat circa 1985 you are. But not in Lock 'n Load: Forgotten heroes. The stacking isn't ...
Hi, Mark. You have my curiosity up. Then why stack? What does this game mechanic represent in the game? For disclosure, I am a manufacturer of N scale Vietnam...
Mark, I have stacked 6mm figure stands in one game :) I had a platoon on the flank and it got hit by everything south of DMZ. I then successfully argued that...
