Today Sunday we played our third Vietnam game this month (....breaking records!!), as usual with Charlie Don´t Surf, the era rules from the TooFatLardies factory. The scenario selected was "Firebase" included in the companion book Surf's Up.
Background
The US army has been surveying an area next to a road to build an artillery firebase, sending for several days in a row a helicopter with some engineer surveyors to find a suitable spot. The VC has been observing the US forces work with growing suspicion and has finally decided to strike a blow, planning to ambush the surveyors party and hopefully to shooting down the helicopter too. However and unkown to them, the surveyors work ended a fortnight ago; and before sending the seabees with the bulldozers to prepare the site, a force consisiting of an infantry platoon supported by an armoured platoon in M 113 ACAVs has been detached to secure the area.
