It includes the historical game and two optional games that play with Variable Order of Battle or Player selected deployments. 200 counters NOTE: One of the very few (only?) Vietnam wargames ever published (in multiple, hard-copy formats) in the same year during which the conflict occurred. Strategy & Tactics magazine #35, and stand-alone flatpack editions were both released.
