Special rules: US medic 50 bandages, as long as medic has bandages, wounded may be healed. All wounded must wear bandages until they reach safety.
VC/NVA use the drag-away rule. Any VC/NVA wounded may be dragged by their forces 50 feet and OUT OF SIGHT of US forces. Once those requirements are met, player may resume play. US forces may not deliberately follow VC for the sole purpose of preventing return to play: i.e. "follow that dude so he can't respawn" is NOT PERMITTED.
Edged weapon rule: Rubber only, NO PLASTIC knives/bayonets etc. No thrown edged weapons.
Capture rule: VC/NVA may capture any US personnel to use as evidence.
Mission: A US SOG team (6 men in tiger stripes) has followed a VC unit into Laos (technically not allowed, but happened frequently) and has hit a hornet's nest of the enemy. They have NOT (at game start) been seen, but their situation is critical, as the enemy is seemingly everywhere.
They have sent a radio message to the Mike Force (Rapid reaction) in South Vietnam and have requested assistance.
Mike Force must get the SOG team back into SVN territory. ALL dead must be retrieved as well. (One hand on 'dead body' as simulated carry.) No evidence of US forces having been in Laos is permitted.
VC/NVA must prevent US force from returning into Vietnam.
Entry points into SVN must be clearly marked for game purposes.
Once US personnel have returned into SVN, THEY MAY NOT RETURN INTO LAOS FOR ANY REASON. Make sure you have everything you went in with!
US win: ALL US personnel back in SVN territory
VC win: Any POW or other physical evidence proving US personnel inside Laos, whether all US forces are back or not
