Force on Force: Ambush Valley

 Some Force on Force Vietnam.

Modified "contractor trouble" scenario. 

An ambushed vehicle convoy.  6 casualties in the lead vehicle worth 1 point each if extracted by end of game.  7 turns.

Nva started with 2 fireteams and an MG bunker on board.  They rolled randomly for reinforcement for first 4 turns.

USA started with a 6 man section by the first 2 trucks and 1 man on the M60 in the gun truck.  The first 3 turns they get a 6 man section as reinforcement and the 4th turn the 4 man command group. 

Overview
Nva fireteam starts hidden overwatching the objective zone.


First US section moves up to extract casualties 
Nva open up on US while they are trying to recover the casualties 
The lead US team is put out of action.  Meanwhile reinforcement arrive and start to move up the road.
Second Nva team opens up from the hut, then brings out the fight to close range.  Reinforcement US squad moves right and engages. 
US squad moves up the left side and flanks the Nva MG bunker. 
Second US squad fires down the road from the bamboo.
The NVA sent a team to reinforce the bunker so a long two turn close range fight ensued until the NVA finally lose their last man on the table.
Final US body count, 6 Kia, 6 serious wounds.

4 of the 6 casualty objectives are brought off board so it is a narrow US win.
