This simulation game re-creates the longest, most complex, and least understood conflict in US history in all of its military and political aspects.
The rules include detailed treatment of movement, terrain, search and destroy operations, special operations, firepower, air mobility, riverines, brigade-level formations, limited intelligence and auxiliary units in each scenario. The scenarios start out small with Operation Starlite, and slowly build in complexity, introducing more rules, until the entire Campaign Scenario which covers the entire war from 1965 to 1975 and introduces South Vietnamese politics, morale and commitment, strategic bombing, reinforcements, and pacification.

I have compiled official errata, Q&A, and rules discussions from various sources and compiled them into one document. I make no claims about the accuracy of the document, it is only to provide some guidance on how to interpret certain rules.
This form should help keep track of the combat and casualty strengths, combat odds, terrain and the all important pursuit modifiers, please improve it if you have a better version
