BOHICA.

We are currently working on a set of wargames rules that work for both French Indo China and Vietnam.

Play testing has pretty much ended and the review team has been bust picking through things.

The final re write is underway to pull it all together and then huge amounts of pictures, charts and general illustrations need to be done.

Release date is difficult to say but hopefully by the end of the year or early next.

Here are some pictures of a play test where we pushed the parameters of how much two players could control in a game. Both had about two companies on a one to one figure ratio plus armour , artillery , air, support. It worked but was exhausting. The game is actually written with a target unit of platoon so between thirty and figures. But can be used for far smaller and far larger battles.

Here are some pictures of the game we played.

Hmmm....had you considered a wider set of Post-45 rules as well...if the gameplay works for multiple platoons/companies on a 1-1 basis, it would be interesting to see if they could transfer to a non-Vietnam type game

Thanks guys.

The rules are specific to Vietnam however are very easily adapted in their BOHICA form into other periods. I suppose their true development into other theatres depends on two things. How successful they are and how much time I have  ;) Following on from BOHICA are two planned supplements for Vietnam, at the least, and it all takes time. However you can guarantee we will be playing the rules in house for other periods.

Another good looking board.

Good luck with the rules, it will end up on my shopping list.
