Vietnam

Vietnam, March 1965. The new bombing offensive "Rolling Thunder" cannot cut the Ho Chi Minh supply route. The U.S. High Command sets up a commando operation for destroying a bridge in a vital point of the supply route. 14 men will try to cross a trap-infested jungle, destroy the bridge and, what's more difficult, return alive...As soon as the commandos are discovered, Vietnamese reinforcements will arrive in mass and swamp the small group, that will have to run to save their lives. As the last step of the set-up, the Vietnamese player writes secretly the situation of the traps spread in the jungle on an specially designed roster sheet. The commandos can move in several speeds, the faster they travel, the lesser the chance to discover the traps. But time is limited, the bridge must be reached before dawn. Game scale: individual soldiers, weapons and traps. Can be played using 1:72 scale miniatures instead of cardboard counters. Components: one 120x120cm full color mounted mapboard in four 60x60cm sections, a 76-page rules manual with historical notes, 600 counters, ammunition rosters and other play aids, game box.
