Uhm, I think the ARVN was much better (again at Xuan Loc an understrenght ARVN division stopped and repulsed a NVA tank supported corps, and Xuan Loc wasn't...
I'm a tankie at heart and am interested in playing armoured cavalry actions at troop or squadron level. 'From the Delta to the DMZ' has caught my eye. Does...
Read the rules but never played... they look good and probably you can play some good sized armor actions (11th Cavalry in junction City, Ap Tau O bridge,...
For battalion/brigade level actions Battlefront WW2 would also be a good choice. Although these rules were developed for WW2 there is a Vietnam card supplement...
Hello. Another good choice that I use for larger actions is Command Decision. It puts individual gamers at the level of battalion commanders. Bob Bailey ...
I had thought about using Command Decision for Vietnam a few years ago but felt that they were more appropriate to larger scale battles involving a regiment...
I wanted to read a book about the NVA without reading about how their social system as crap as I felt this was outside the scope of the book's intent As for...
the NVA didn't beat the Unites states. Again the Parios accord of 1973 can be constructed in several way, but certainly not in a NVA victory especially after...
Actually there we a lot of large battles in vietnam... just not so many tyo satisfy every wargamer. But multi regimenti units started in 1964 with the action...
I did say there were a small number of which you have mentioned several, I doubt you would be doing a multi day battle in Command Decision unless you have ...

No disrespect to Gordon, but I think he may have been too close to the subject matter to write on it. NVA were very good. Much better than ARVN. They were...
I agree that there is a lot of potential for Vietnam scenarios other than the traditional skirmish level game. Many of them were fought by the Marines on the...
Luke, when the phiusically impossibility to do large engagement with a given rule set has stopped us gamers? Seriously, some of the lerger action would require...
Goop points (and the battle of dong ha bridge is one my favourite, I have also the AAR somewhere...). The problem of wargaming vietnam is that no rule fit it...
Agreed. With Battlefront I would be gaming an action of between battalion and regimental size (mostly closer to the former than the latter unless it is a full...
It is true that no set of rules will fit all battles of this period and I think the same goes for any period which is why, if you want to get the full command...
One, the NVA and VC and Vietminh won becasue they used a Fabian Strategy. According to the HIstory Channel's Ancient Battles series, this is a strategy of...

I am not convinced that the NVA followed a Fabian strategy of non engagement. It might be more accurate to atgue that the NVA/VC/Vietminh won by following a...
It looks like I kicked off an interesting discussion. I had toyed with using my usual modern armoured rules - Battlegroup - and that seems like the best...
Excellent. Thanks Nick _____ From: Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Arrigo Velicogna Sent: 05 April 2009 17:23 To:...
can I recommend Timecast? I got some nice Timecast french colonial and vietnamese thatched houses. The thatched houses in particular were lovely with a greeny...
Have you considered WRG moderns? one stand equals a fire team or weapons team or one vehicle not to everybody's tastes particulalry the Tac modes but most of...
They look great, I'll be getting some. Nick _____ From: Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Vietgaming@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ahmed711935 Sent: 07 April...
Thanks. I was interested as to whether any of the rules written specifically for the Vietnam War handled armoured actions well but the best solution seems to...
