• Scenario creation for ten missions, from routine security patrols to search and destroy missions, ambushes, hunting fugitives, clearing a hot LZ, to assaulting an enemy strongpoint. Also, surprise VC night raider attacks on US bases.
• All scenarios include options and rules for: variable game sizes (small, medium or large), from small firefights to a full platoon in action, variable ‘threat levels’ setting how many VC might be encountered, the presence of civilians on the battlefield, ‘search points’ and optional scenario sub-plots for an added twist, like finding a downed pilot, or the arrival of unexpected VC reinforcements.
• Variable and unknown VC forces to encounter, divided into three threats: Local Guerrilla forces, the Regional ‘Militia’ Force and the National ‘Army’ Force, as well as all manner of ruses, booby-traps and defences.
• The ‘Tour of Duty’ campaign system, to play through 12 months ‘in-country’ in command of your own platoon.
