Western forces in Vietnam soon realised that traditional military strategies and tactics would not win the war. Jungle based guerilla warfare required a different approach. Part of the tactical revision involved using smaller teams of men going deep into enemy territory. Intelligence gathering was extremely important in Vietnam. Development of the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol followed. LRRPs (pronounced Lurps) usually consisted of around six men. They worked closely as a team, were heavily armed and generally did whatever was necessary to get the job done. Their aim was to remain undetected if possible. Working deep behind enemy lines, as well as reconnaissance they carried out a variety of mission types.
In this 'hex and counter' wargame you will control a LRRP as they are dropped in the jungle, carry out their mission orders and then proceed to the extraction zone. The death of any member of your team will result in instant defeat.
This game is a solitaire wargame. You play the game, and the enemy is controlled by the game book (or the Artificial Intelligence or ‘AI’). Rules, Counter Sheet (to be stuck to card and cut out) and 10 full colour Mission Maps included. You will need to supply around a dozen standard six-sided dice.
