June's Conwy Wargames Club game at the Creuddyn Community Centre was a very Asiatic affair with Dave putting on a 20mm Vietnam war game using the Force on Force rules.
The Scenario
A US airman has been shot down and is hiding near a NVA held village which has been supporting local Viet Cong. The nearby fire base has sent out a force to rescue him. Naturally the NVA and VC would like to capture him too.
The Board
6x4ft table covered in light jungle e.g. trees block line of sight, with a road leading to the NVA village short edge to short edge.
The NVA could place their defences anywhere within the village and secretly place a tunnel complex exit anywhere on the board for the VC to pop up from.
Dave as umpire marked on a map which tree the pilot was hiding in.
The Game

The US troops engage the VC and fan out to search for the pilot

Great looking setup,love the Guntruck.

Excellent write up.
Sounds if one side or the other had a little better luck,
the pilot would have been found.
