Pulp Alley 1

 Scenario 8.

The Texas Rangers must recover some evidence that is in Mother the pig.  They were tipped off by local mobsters that the local Triad gang offers a "disposal service" and accompany them to the location.    But is it a trap?!


The Rangers with some local PD back up
"Perilous areas" were local wildlife. 
Rangers Sidekick "The Kid" brawls with Triad gangster "Lazy Lam".
Mother Pig, the plot point
Angry goat.   Perilous area.
Of course it's a trap!  The mobsters turn on the lawmen.  A furious shootout at the pigpen.
Local beverage company delivers some unprohibited drinks.   

In the end the Rangers get their pig.  I was so caught up in the action I forgot to bring in my Triad gang leader as reinforcement!

Force on Force: Ambush Valley part 3

 This time the NVA will launch a surprise night attack on a US base.

The NVA have 4 sapper teams that have a 1 in 6 chance to blow a large hole in the wire at the start of the game.  1 of them succeeded.

Each turn a playing card is flipped.  On a Red there are illumination flares up giving regular visibility.   On a black card it is dark and we use the Night Fighting rules.

Only 2 US units are on watch (plus the M113 APC) at the beginning of the game.  Starting turn 2  random US unit arrived in a random section of the table edge.

The US had several Claymore mines along the wire.

Overview 
Sappers in the wire
Blown section of wire
.50 cal bunker opens up
Nva cut their way through the wire
The left US bunker is suppressed and over run
The APC is destroyed by mortar fire
A US squad arrives as reinforcement 
Prepared to be overrun

NVA over run the bunker on the left, but can't hold on as the last man is gunned down.

NVA over run the .50 cal bunker, but a reinforcement section takes it back.


In the end the NVA did not hold any bunkers, giving the US 30 victory points.   They did cause quite a few casualties,  adding up to 29 victory points.  Close game!
