Solo VC Actions

These rules provide a solo player with randomized procedures for selecting squads, determining encounters, and resolving combat against VC forces in Vietnam. Squads are determined by a roll of 1-10, with different units assigned to different numbers. Each turn, a roll is made to determine what is encountered - civilians, VC, or nothing - with further rolls to randomize the type of VC contact, from snipers to artillery fire. Charts also determine the type of enemy faced and how they will react in combat, holding fire, firing, or trying to engage in close quarters. The rules aim to simulate solo play against VC forces in a randomized and procedural manner.

SOLO VC ACTIONS

These rules can be tagged on to any set of rules you use, they are ideal for the solo player or if you
are like me fed up of umpiring a game it gives you a chance to play the Allies. The VC play is all
randomised.

SQUAD SELECTION
To pick the squad or squads you will play with roll on the following table:

1-2ARVN
3-5US Marines
6-8US Infantry
9-10Special Forces

CONTACT TABLES
Before the game starts you should define what risk area you are operating in, this will depend on the
year and your location of operations.
Roll once per move on the following table.

Low Risk Area Medium Risk Area High Risk Area Type

1-60% 1-40% 1-20% OK

61-70% 41-50% 21-30% Civilians

71-100% 51-100% 31-100% VC

This will give you what you will come across on that move. If VC is rolled then we need to
establish what we are up against.

VC Contact Table

11-20%Sniper (in bunker)
21-30%Hidden squad

cease firing, next move dice again for the sniper to see if he's gone or he's still there.
