Looking for ideas for fairly simple, straight-forward rules for Indo China. Ideally I'd like to plan to game with a base being a section or squad and the maneuver element the platoon. Figures will be 10mm. I'd like to incroprate support weapons, some armor and maybe amphibious craft like Crabs and Buffalo/Alligator. I was thinking of maybe something from Too Fat Lardies like Charlie Don't Surf or IABSM, did they ever come out with a French Indochina variant for either? I'd be open to anything so long as it isn't too granular. It doesn't have to be specific to the conflict either. Thanks so much! |

There is the Peter Pig Boys of Company B. Written for the later US intervention period I found with restraint as to the choice of support vehicles a FFL and Vietminh force game in 15mm worked quite well (using Eureka figures). I suggest though that the should you wish to use riverine assets simply define the compulsory road/track as a waterway. Regards Alan |

There is version of IABSM for Indochina. I found long time ago on Hong Kong wargamers site. Not sure if still there. |

I believe the rules mods on the Hong Kong Wargamers site are for Crossfire. I cannot locate any for IABSM. hksw.org/vietnam.htm |

Crossfire, or its Vietnam derivative Incoming! would do very well for this |
