French Indo China Game at Empress Towers.
« on: April 18, 2019, 02:36:56 PM »

Hoping to get some time in a very busy weekend to play a solo French Indo China game.

Set in 1953 a French Foriegn Legion company is sent to destroy a small village that has been reported as harbouring vietminh troops.

First in the patrol is a unit of Vietnamese paratroops under their Foriegn Legion officers. All very quiet so far.

But.............

Thanks for the nice posts guys.

First up are the Vietnamese sections of the Foreign Legion Paras. On their way to the village.

The Vietminh will be activated using the basic principles from that old set of rules 'F Troop Ain't Coming Back' If you are old enough you will know what this means. For the youngsters its a simple way of having marked entry points, 10 in this case around the table. Roll a D20 (which is the only die that Danger Close uses) and if its one of the numbered then roll for a unit to come on. Quite simple.

It only becomes boring if I never roll a number equating to the entry points  lol
