THE VIETNAM WAR MINIATURES GAME

Tour of Duty, Battlefronts new book on the Vietnam War, includes eight missions tailored specifically for Vietnam, butthese arent the only missions available. Te standard missions from the Flames Of Warrulebook are equally applicable toVietnam, along with special missions and scenarios you develop for your own games.

Tis document contains the missions from the Flames Of Warrulebook, modified to make them easier to use in Vietnam.Tey have had the Guerilla Reserves special rule added, the victory conditions adjusted, and other small changes thathelp Vietnam War gamers. Youll notice that these missions dont use the Fire Support Base special rules by default. Tisgives you the choice as to whether you want to have your artillery on the table in classic Flames Of Warstyle, or whetheryou want to keep your artillery safe off table. Discuss which option you prefer with your opponent and adjust the missionto suit your preferences.

Happy gaming, and enjoy your tour of duty! - Phil
