The Deuce and a half pulls up fast and barrels through the sandbagged
checkpoint as the guards wave it on. Once inside the compound it screeches to a
halt in a heap of thick reddish dust.

A rough looking Sergeant with a Green beret on his head, throws open the
canvas above the rear gate and begins barking orders.

“Alright you jerk offs you got 5 seconds to get off my truck and 4 of them
are gone! Move it! Move it! Move it!”

The men groan. R & R in Saigon is over and it’s back to the ugly side
of Vietnam. As you follow the others off the truck the Sergeant grabs your
shoulder.

“You son had better gear up and gear up fast. LT wants you in his Hootch
for a mission brief. We’re dusting off in three hours. We’re going deep man,
deep into Indian country. Uncle Ho’s trail man. You better have your shit
ready” He slaps your back, smiles and barks at some of the other guys still
lingering around obviously with hangovers.

“Welcome back to the ‘Nam.”

The 10 missions here are the original scenarios provided in the ‘Battlespace ultra
modern solo skirmish’ rules and it’s expansion ‘Battlespace Navy Seals’. I have just re-
skinned them to make them more appropriate for action in Vietnam’s jungles, villages
and Cities. Hopefully I haven’t made too many changes that upset the balance of Robert
Salters original mission scenarios. As before, these are meant for 3 x 3 table top play.
However, they may work on either 2 x 2 or 4 x 4. You are encouraged to add or change
the features to whatever jungle type terrain you have.

Your tour of duty continues. Good luck man.

Mission 1: Helo Down.
A Huey has crashed. Command has aborted your recon team’s previous
patrol mission and sent you to the crash site to retrieve the bird’s
personnel if possible. The enemy in the area are local Viet Cong
fighters, no NVA soldiers. They were the ones firing on the Huey that
brought it down.

The board can be 2’ x 2’, 3’ x 3’ or 4’ x 4’.

Your Recon team consists of 6 soldiers. You must move to the crash
site from your deployment point on the trail, clear any enemy, and
retrieve any survivors and exfil them off the board.

The terrain is jungle vegetation with patches of elephant grass,

some muddy clearings and some very dense impassible thickets. The
Helo has come down on a clearing. The trail stretches from the de-
ployment point to the exfil board edge is a stretch of 2 man wide
dirt.

For a successful mission at least 3 of your team must exfil from the
board with any survivors.

When one of your team members reaches base contact with the helo
wreck, you ‘search’ it by rolling a D20.
1 – 5 = All passengers and crew are missing.
6 - 12 = All passengers and crew are KIA.
11 – 20 = There is only 1 survivor, a soldier
passenger, he is wounded. He will have
to be carried by at least 1 team mem-
ber.

Intelligence has discovered a Viet Cong Cadre operating in the
village of Bac Noi. Your 6 man SOF team has been assigned to
infiltrate Bac Noi at night, find the Cadre, and eliminate him.

The Village consists of 6 huts but the Cadre is reported to be either

in one of the three huts in the center of the vil.

You will move from the deployment point and infiltrate each objective
building and find the Cadre to eliminate him.

You have 8 turns before dawn to accomplish this mission and reach the
exfil point with at least 1 team member.

When you infiltrate inside an objective building, roll a D6. On 5+

you find the cadre and an NVA soldier who is his bodyguard. If you
do not find him in the first building, the second one is a 4+ to find
him. If you do not find him in the second building either, it is a 3+
to find him in the 3rd. If you do not find him in the third, he either
was never there or got a tip you were coming and fled.

If you roll a ‘1’ on the D6 while searching a building, there is a

booby trap in the building. Draw the booby trap sitrep card and play
it on whomever infiltrated the building and caused the D6 roll.

Your team was escorting a squad of ARVN in two fast moving Deuce ‘n a
halves. The trucks however were not fast enough and were hit on the
road to Firebase Elvira by a well laid ambush of NVA soldiers.

Many of the ARVN were killed as they ‘Didi Mau’d’ out of there. Now
only your 6 man team is left in the perimeter set up around the trucks.

You must hold out for 5 turns as an inbound reaction team mounted in
APC’s is headed in after receiving your call for assistance.

You must have at least 1 man of your team alive at the end of turn 5.

Informants have passed on an urgent tip to command. The Viet Cong
have gathered three captured American helicopter crewmen into a
temporary holding pen in the village of Dai Binh. They are waiting
to transfer them to a NVA patrol that will take them across the
Cambodian border for the long trek up the Ho Chi Minh trail to a North
Vietnamese prison camp.

Command has given your 6 man team the go ahead for a rescue. You have
7 turns to do so.

Objectives:

1. Eliminate the VC guarding the prisoners by the end of turn 5.

2. When the POW’s are within the area of the maneuver card with a
soldier, that soldier can ‘Pop red smoke’ as an action. (Note,
each soldier carries smoke in this mission)
3. On the next turn after popping smoke, the team must lead the
rescued POW’s to the exfil.
4. POW’s are treated as soldiers when being fired on by the enemy.
5. At least one POW must make it to the exfil for the mission to be
a success.

Mission 5: Didi Mau boys!
Your 6 man team is on a recon patrol through the deserted village
of Mung Tau. The Village is surrounded by thick jungle clad hills
behind which runs a shallow stream.

Your team is positioned in the remains of a burned out Colonial

French country house near several Vietnamese huts. Above you an
OH-6 ‘Little bird’ had just did a fly over of your position.

Your PRC radio crackles to life. “Romeo Bravo 1 this is Lima Bravo

Mission 6: Intel Hunt.
Command has given your 6 man team the go ahead for a nighttime raid
on a Viet Cong training camp just across the border in Cambodia.
There are 4 objectives to be searched. These consists of 1 Major
intel objective and 3 minor intel objectives.

Intelligence says the camp is not currently active that only a few
VC guards are in the area. Of course you’ll believe that when hell
freezes over.

Gaining all objectives will give you bonuses for any later missions.
There is no turn limit, however you can not exfil until you have
located the major intel objective.

After turn 8 you will begin drawing 2 sitrep cards per sitrep phase.
Use 4 identical objective markers. Put an ID under one to mark it
as the major objective. Turn them upside down, scramble them around
before blindly placing them on the board.

No NVA soldiers or the VC Cadre are used in this mission.

If the team finds the major objective, and at least 1 man gets off the
board they get 4 extra gear points for the next mission.

For each minor objective the team finds, and at least 1 man gets off
the board you can negate one sitrep card drawn on the next mission.

To find the objective a man must be in base to base contact with the
objective marker and perform a ‘search’.

Mission 7: Two birds in the bush.
Intelligence has found out that a Colonel Do Quang Ho of the local Main
force VC regiment is heading via Sampan to the village of Muoy Doc on a
muddy backwater of the Mekong river. He is picking up arms and ammo from
a secret enemy weapons cache in an old abandoned French plantation.

Your 6 man team will split into two 3 man teams designated Alpha and
Bravo teams.

Alpha teams mission is to take and destroy the weapons cache at objective
Alpha. Objective Alpha has a 4 man Main Force VC element guarding it.
Two members of Alpha team carry a C4 explosive. To set the explosive
they must be in base contact with the building the cache is in and ‘place
explosive’ as an action. To set off the explosive is a Free action.
Anyone within the building when it goes off is KIA. Anyone within the
walled compound when it goes off receives D3 wounds. After they plant
the explosive they can exfil or aide Bravo team.

Bravo teams mission is to capture Colonel Do. Do’s Sampan is at the

dock. He will be moving with a 4 man main force Viet cong element from
his Sampan to the walled compound where the weapons cache is, then back
to the Sampan. Bravo team must make base to base contact with Colonel Do
and win a Fight to subdue him and drag him to the exfil.

If the weapons cache is destroyed, Colonel Do will didi mau back to his
sampan and be gone.

Colonel Do is classed as an NVA leader. All main force Viet Cong are
also classed as NVA soldiers.

If Alpha team exfils and the weapons cache is not destroyed the mission is
failed.

If Colonel Do makes a round trip from the sampan to the weapons cache and
then back to the sampan, the mission is failed.

If Colonel Do makes it back to his sampan he is not captured and the

mission is failed.

If the weapons cache is destroyed and 1 man of Alpha team makes it off
the board, you can take an extra 2 men or 4 more gear points on the next
mission.

If Colonel Do is captured and removed from the board, you can negate 3
sitrep cards in the next mission.

Mission 8: Block them holes!
A regular infantry company of the 25th infantry division has been
harassed by fire from the village of Duoc Hoi. When they swept the
vil, they foundnd nothing. The problem has been kicked up to SOF
command.

Your 6 man team is being sent in to Duoc Hoi to search the 5

locations the infantry have reported taking fire from. Command
believes there are tunnel entrances or spider holes hidden at
these locations.

A man must make base to base contact with the objective marker
then do a ‘search’ action to discover the tunnel entrance.

Each man will carry 1 Grenade as free gear. It takes one grenade
dropped in base to base contact with the objective to collapse the
tunnel entrance. If you run out of grenades, you will not be able
to blow the tunnel entrances and the mission will fail. Grenades
can be scavenged from KIA soldiers who still have the gear on
them. You can of course take extra grenades with your load out.

The enemy are only VC fighters, no Cadre. They can spawn from the
objectives unless the objective has been blown. They can still
spawn from the board edges unless all objectives have been blown.

Once all objectives are blown do not draw anymore sitrep cards in
the game. Any VC still in play will retreat off the board. Once
there are no VC left on the board, the game ends.

If you run out of grenades and have no means to destroy the

objectives, you must exfil back off your deployment zone to end the
game. Your mission has failed.

regular units and Viet Cong units have attacked every major city and
base in country.

As chaotic as the command post is, you’ve been given a mission on the
fly. Go retake Radio Pleiku and get those commie bastards off the air!

Your team is now 8 men strong plus you’ve been given an ARVN
translator (take the card from the Gear deck). There will be
Civilians in the way. Some hostile, some friendly but mostly just in
the way! You start off the board at your deployment point.

An NVA leader is in the Radio Pleiku building. He is your objective.

You must kill him and his 3 man element escort. The radio station is
heavily defended. The game ends when the NVA leader is killed as all
other NVA in the area will didi mau to their nearest command element
off the board. The game also ends if all your men are KIA. If you can
not win the mission you can save your men by exfil off any board edge.
The mission will then be a fail.

If you kill the NVA leader, you receive an extra 4 Gear points for
the next mission, and may negate any 2 sitrep cards in that game.
