After two bigger club games i decided to take a smaller effort to the club this week and since Vietnam is a popular subject at the club it was time to get the 15mm stuff out for this one. Carl has just finished the report for this one and it can be found here- Link

How do you find Cold War Commander for Vietnam? Does it capture the flavour of the period?

Looks very good I was going ask if you used the skirmish rules but realized that the skirmish rules are only in FWC

Its always the helicopters that makes the difference, enjoyed the write up.

Considering how easy the rules are to pick up they do seem to capture the period quite well. There are extensive lists for each conflict covered so they are easy to adapt. At some point i will try them out for the 6 day war as its something i have wanted to do for decades but never got round to.

Do you change any of the ranges or just play it by the book in centimeters?
Empires at War	14 Oct 2013 5:33 a.m. PST
saltflats1929 Yes we just use centimetres instead.
