The Vietnam campaign has been running, on and off, since 1990. It is based around a fictional infantry company, where members of the club take on the roles of the company officers and squad leaders.

Dependant on the actions of a player’s squad he or she will receive (or lose) victory points, which determine the players standing in the league table and affect the player’s chance of promotion. Company and platoon officers also gain the VPs acquired by their subordinates.

Experience points are awarded for squad members that survive a mission without receiving any wounds; these are used to improve the squad’s ratings. If the squad loses an experienced hand and gets a new recruit as a replacement, the squads experience points will suffer.

Company and Platoon leaders hold their commissions until their character is killed, or in rare cases gets demoted (you really have to foul up to lose rank). If a vacancy arises it is filled by promoting a squad leader (or if a new company commander is required, a platoon leader) based on the standings in the league table, whether the player has previously commanded a platoon, and the umpire’s whim. Squads may be assigned to different platoons in different missions.

We use the Bodycount rules, with some minor amendments. The mechanisms in Bodycount require a large amount of number crunching, so a BASIC language program is used to manage the game. This program also logs events during the game to facilitate post game analysis and the award of Victory and experience points.

Total establishment 5 Officers, 31 NCOs, 75 Other Ranks, 4 KC Scouts.
Total 115 Officers and Men.
