Battle #2
Again, excellent map!
Without getting into details:
The VC were all dug-in, makes them MUCH harder to hit/suppress.
94 Squads (mostly 3-man scout teams, hard as hell to hit due to size 0)
3 Sniper
12 Fortifications
3 MMG Section
7 Recoiless Rifle
5 82mm Mortar Section
3 Hv AAMG
3 ZPU-4
3 57mm AA Gun
And most interestingly ... 67 mine symbols.
To quote the manual: "A 'mine' is not '1 mine' but a random small number of mines. It is a symbol for a mined area and may be 2 mines or it may be 8 mines (or 3 or 5)."
Let's assume an average of 4.5 mine per symbol ... 67 x 4.5 = 301.5 ... the average anti-tank mine weighs 30# ... so 301.5 x 30 = 9045# ... 4.11 tons of mines ... very industrious those VC.
The ONLY reason I made it to the village via the road was I ignored the scenario advice and bought a single tank, an M67A2 Zippo to be precise, as part of my CORE. Then picked up two Engineer Squads with scenario support points. Gotta love flame tanks when it comes to roadside ambushes
