The newest scenario of the Wild Team is now up at the Wargamer for those interested in giving it a try.

Design: Wild Bill Wilder

Testers: Stephen Porter, Lars Remmen, Tom DeShetler
Designer Notes: This should be played as a one player game only from the US side.
This scenario is a recreation of the US Special Forces raid on the NVA prison camp at Son Tay.
Historically it proved futile as the prisoners had been moved just prior to the attack.
The battle here, however, takes a "what if" posture. Suppose there had been United States
prisoners at the compound, and suppose the NVA action was swift and violent. What might have been the outcome? Now you can determine that for the US side.
After a C-130 gunship hits one guard post, an HH-3 enters and its mission is to further surpress the enemy guards.
Next The two helicopters carrying the attack will appear on the left. From this point you are on your own. Your helicopters have limited movement. This is to portray the time needed to find a spot to land, get in there, loaded and out again, should you choose to evacuate your prisoners.
SPECIAL NOTE (Please Read!
Objective hexes will not win this one for you alone. Keeping the prisoners alive is also imperative. Get them out if you can as soon as you can.
