Good question!

There will be many surprises throughout the day. The US forces will be held to rules of engagement similar to the real forces in Vietnam... ie:

Here is a morning start for Saturday the 12th!

Taken from the scenario: Held down in Valley of Doom....
"
US Forces are restricted from crossing the Mekong river

Patrols of up to five men may move up and down (but never cross) the US held side of the river

US Forces may fire across the river but cannot cross the river

US Forces are not to utilize any bridges but may position themselves within the banks of the river (both banks may be used)

US Forces may not enter Cambodia

NVA Forces are allowed unrestricted movement on either side of the river and into Cambodia!!"

Hope that helps to understand the sort of engagements... special orders will be given to NVA groups for sneak attacks and deep strikes... while US forces will have truck/helicopter lifts deep in to enemy territory! Many US options, such as patrols will be allowed only is small groups, evenly spaces... giving each soldier the isolation and fear factor so common to that conflict. While ronin, rogue, and highly dangerous groups of North Vietnamese will be set loose on the countryside!

Choose your side well and look to your commanders for special instructions and point scoring objectives!

What happens if some Americans go rogue (read: noobs cross the river)? Do they get called out by a ref, or simply play as usual and eventually die in a hail of plastic?

We have 5 permanent reffs for this event... so I hope to keep things easy and simple.

Some of the missions will definitely need the maps! lol

And yes... expect lots of death in a hail of bullets. oh yes!

you will be missed! But no worries... the July 10th game should be lots of fun as well...

I will be emphasizing the civilian Silverado city game type again!

Hope you are having a good summer,

Good Q!

Start time = 11am  (Great for those of you driving from a far)

End time = 8pm!   (Oh, you'll get your monies worth out of this game day!)  ;D ;D

PS: Closest motel... Hmmm, I am not really certain... anything near Spartanburg perhaps?

Hiya IronChef,

To be honest we will have to see... if someone does show up with a perfect kit.  :o  Otherwise... costumes sans gun sounds good to me!

Who are the commanders for this OP? I volunteer to lead the NVA if necessary.

Dominum will be the US CO, and I believe Tanker will be the NVA CO.

Two people from the same team will be opposing commanders in an OP?

That doesn't make any sense...

Well that's what I thought, but then it hit me...

They're always at eachother's throats anyway!
