Remember Predator (1987)?

Well, wouldn’t it be interesting - and extremely creepy - if something like that had indeed already taken place somewhere on Earth?
Well, according to this weird story, it might have happened during the Vietnam War:

QUESTIONS: 1) Could any of the scenarios in that video become the spark for playable games? If so, which specific scenario(s)? 2) Which Vietnam War figures and rules would you use for those same scenarios?

For https://shop.prodosgames.com/8-alien-vs-predator
And for U.S. Troops https://www.empressminiatures.com/us-vietnam-18-c.asp
Ballardian:
Nice idea, I'd imagine there are a good number of usable periods for jungle based scenarios, and having just acquired some of the excellent Prodos minis I feel Borneo and assorted Pacific islands during WWII are calling to me...

I would have thought the one in your White House and that Roy Moore fellow would be quite enough to be getting along with, no need to make up any more predators.
Whilst I understand, the intent is to amuse, rather than enlighten that video makes some strange distortions of actual events which some might argue is rather disrespectful to the memories of those actually killed in these events

As for HMAS Hobart, that was definitely a ‘friendly fire’ incident. They recovered large chunks of the missile from the funnel and elsewhere. Definitely the USAF, unless you wish to advance the theory that alien space craft were armed with Sparrow radar guided missiles.
Inkpaduta:
There would be a set of rules that would be perfect for what you want to do called Tour of Darkness. It is set of weird Vietnam rules using the savage worlds system from Pinnacle.
