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.

Spotting merrily away but learning that artillery doesn't arrive until the next turn

Bored of waiting for the oppressors to approach the VC go to them

After taking RPG hits the US soldiers disembark

Things are getting lively

US reinforcements chopper in and get shot to pieces

APC is destroyed and the tank retreats to safety

The tankers support well to the rear

The APC's showing more bravery get stuck in

The NVA second line is untouched

With the majority of the US vehicles destroyed or out of action in one form or another the Vietnamese celebrate their victory.
