Apologies if this has been asked before, but has anyone used Bolt Action for the Vietnam War.
Looking to get into the period and getting the Westwind range of figures as they seem very reasonable price wise.
I do have Charlie don't surf rules which I was going to look through in the next week or so,
Any help would be appreciated

There is a Facebook group that you would find useful, assuming you use FB of course!

Wargames Soldiers and Strategy #65 has a bolt action variant for Vietnam called Full Auto on page 64.

Run a search on it. I have several printed out in a BA binder I downloaded. The weapons change, particularly assault rifles. The men do not, so with minor mods the game works.

Even better (I think) would be Bolt Action WWI??

Bolt Action is a sufficiently generic game to work with almost any period post 1850. Just swap out the weapon details and off you go. It works for 7th Cav, WW2, Star Wars, etc. etc.

We've used BA for Vietnam for quite a while now; there's mods on the facebook page that work pretty well.

I have used these mods before and they worked well.

This summer BA is releasing a version for Korea. Planned for August.
