    Something a little different. A solo campaign for Vietnam, written with Hell by Daylight rules in mind but it’ll play with any rules.
    The player is the Viet Cong, trying to run a nice efficient rear echelon and bothered by American guerrillas

    Really interesting game-within-a-game you’ve made there Jim!  Would be an excellent exercise for use in a classroom to sort of introduce youngins to various concepts.  (historical side note: my pops’ SIGMA recon team operated with the III Corps MGF for operations Blackjack 33 and 34, though one involved looking for the blackbox of a crashed spyplane).

    I bet you could come up with something very cool for a recon type mission like the SAS teams doing their SCUD hunting during Gulf 1.

    Don’t tempt me 🙂
    I might just do a game of terrified SCUD crews knowing that they were being hunted by the SAS and working out the safest way to desert 😉

    Now THAT would make for a good buddy-comedy flick!  (Ok, maybe not good, but could be entertaining)

    It would probably be easier to do, you wouldn’t have the same problem with suspension of disbelief.
    After all, if the SAS appear out of nowhere and appear to be expecting you, who is surprised?
