Conwy Wargames Club May Vietnam game

In May Dave hosted another Vietnam war game for the club using his 20mm collection and Force on Force rules.

Mel commanded the Vietnamese who having trapped a US patrol in a village waited to ambush the rescuers.

Tony commanded both the besieged patrol and the heroic saviours.

I missed the final moves but the VC won as a result of being more patient than the Gung Ho US troops who exposed themselves to much to the VC firepower.
