Up Front Nam v1.5


I'd like to give thanks to Tim McCarron for creating his Up Front module, and for giving his permission to use that module to create Up Front Nam.

This module has been play tested to a fair degree, but because of it's complexity and scope, there may be some play balance issues. So, in this aspect of the game as well as others, players have the ability to tweak the DYO points if necessary.

Players have the ability to play these scenarios as they want. They can fight in the terrain of their choice from four decks, Rural Lowlands, Rural Highlands, Nam Jungle, or Standard Nam. Optional rules can be included upon agreement, such as cresting from a gully or the use of tunnels. Players may also use the jungle deck with or without jungle rules when the scenario doesn't specifically require it. So as you see, this module has been designed as somewhat of a sandbox for flexibility.

Hopefully, typos are to a minimum and there are no significant bugs. Future versions will include more AFV's, weapons, and the associated scenarios, as well as a further refinement of play balance.

I realize there will be disagreement with some weapon values. The Vietnam era weapons in this module have to fit within the Up Front game mechanics and also favor well relative to each other.

Lastly, Vassal engine 3.1.3 or later is required to run this module.


Enjoy,
