Default Re: Some rules questions:

A few more about ambushing:

1. Do the VC ambush and the NVA ambush differ in that the VC get an initial non-simultaneous melee attack, but the NVA don't (though they still get triple firepower)?

2. In a non-simultaneous ambush, do the US units then fight back, but after first removing any dead unit, or must they wait until the next turn, or their impulse to fight melee back?

3. Vietnamese units attempting to ambush must move and are likely to be exposed to opportunity fire from 1 hex distance by the unit about to be ambushed just before it enters their hex.

So while this seems to model the mobile, hastily deployed, ambush of the LZ-Albany (Ia Drang) sort, it doesn't seem to model the stationary ambush. Might ambush apply equally if US units enter a Viet unit to melee, when the viets were BOTH out of LOS and unspotted, and are not under a movement marker, at the beginning of the US impulse?
