Like the title says, I'm wondering if anyone is still playing RAFM's Vietnam War rules "Charlie Company".
This was a set I played quite a bit in the early 2000's, and amassed a decent set of figures, etc.
It's been a while that they have been on the battlefield, so I am thinking of putting them up on the market. I'd like for anyone that plays the rules to get a first crack at them.
Let me know. Murphy |

I love the game but at the time nobody locally wanted to do 'Nam. I sold of all my 20mm to slim down to just 6 and 28 but still have the rules (and am tempted to get back into 20mm). Are you still in Indiana? |

I still see games at HMGS Little Wars every year so there should be a market. |

Love the rules had a small group playing them in 10mm then we move on to 15mm, I still play them. |

I played a few times at conventions and liked the simple system for that context. You can really role-play the officers and men and have fun with the setting. Not looking for a copy, however -- please send it on to someone with stronger interest. |

I haven't but would like to, since I've heard good things about them. |

Same as Thresher – me & she play in 28mm but I don't see why that would be an issue. |

I hope it is still played! In my opinion this is the Vietnam game that makes the most sense, at least at the skirmish level (again, the scale that makes the most sense for this war to me: up close and personal). I really like that this is about surviving the tour of duty, and not any nonsense about winning no silly war :P |

I just picked up the rules and some of the miniatures. It's something I am going to get into at some point this year.
Glanced at the rules and I like the direction they are going |

Wigglesworth, the only issue I really have with them is that the artillery effects resolution rules for determining hits vs casualties is pretty abhorrent. I modified it by making clear artillery impact templates for PZ and SZ and then already had pre-rolled up casualty results. So if three guys got hit in an arty strike, I would take the first three results off the list I already had.
Made it a lot easier and quicker. |

I still play (was a playtester when they were developed). Planning on switching to 28mm when the new Rubicon plastic figures are available. |

I run, but I am switching to 15mm. There was someone on Facebook who was looking for 20mm Vietnam figs for other rules. |
