Flames of War Vietnam -- Nick (Vietnamese) vs Malcolm (US)
Malcolm has obviously played Flames of War Vietnam before. he chose a devastating list. Three infantry platoons (one each to hold an objective, and one to attack with), and an insane amount of artillery. Couples with 4 helicopter gunships that rotated back to their base so there were always two gunships able to fire a full salvo of rockets.
I did try to spring a couple of traps -- a mortar company came out of ambush and direct fired onto some yankees. The return fire from the helicopters was brutal! A recoilless rifle platoon did the same, and was savaged the next turn. The total sum of damage done -- one US infantry wounded (who the medic killed)
I had hoped to ambush my AA under some helicopters, but Malcolm was incredibly careful, making sure the helicopters only flew over ground occupied by US infantry.
After half a dozen turns the Vietnamese had been ground down, and melted into the jungle.
