Default Re: Marine River force in Vietnam

Most of my playtest run-throughs I had a marine company with 1 platoon replaced by engineers, a platoon of mortars, 3 "squadrens" of 3 PBRs with a mix of weapons, an FO and an ammo LVT. I usually had a road patrol and fire team squad, sometime replaced 1 squadren of plasties (PBRs) with PT boats. I usually had a few recoilless rifles for bunkers and to make a big bang in suppression fire. When I could afford I bought a seal recon team and helicopter (which I had fun with but it died often, (same with the hovercraft when I had them). I'm some battles would be very hard without the PBRs. I enjoy open cores myself which is the main reason I left it open. If most people would prefer a fixed core I can certainly do that.
