Operation Silver Bayonet I – Ia Drang 1 – Rendezvous With Desitny

Post by jimpyle »

Anyone ever played this scenario H2H? My friend and I have tried three times, the last included a house rule that the NVA couldn't move during the first two turns. In all three it was a complete romp by the NVA. No chance at all for the Americans. Are we missing something? :D

That scenario is definitely not meant for H2H.

If you're going to play it as H2H, then each of the NVA companies involved should wait X turns before they are engaged, as that is how they are scripted. They all didn't attack at once. I'd stagger the NVA companies one available every 4-6 turns.

With scripting, I don't have to fix the units, so all of them are unfixed since the scripting handles when they are historically supposed to engage.

Thanks, Jason.
