CONSUMER ALERT: These products, which are typically available only for high prices on E-bay, are of extremely poor quality and most ASLers would find them more or less unusable. There appears to have been little to no proofreading, rules development or playtesting. See the review of One Wild Ride for a more extended look at one of these products. THESE ARE VERY POOR PRODUCTS; BUYER BEWARE.
See entries on Glory & Grief I and One Wild Ride for general comments that would also apply here. This is the second of a three part series bringing ASL to the Vietnam era. It adds counters and rules for the USMC and the Viet Cong, and includes a tunnel overlay and a forest overlay.
As with the previous entry in the series, this is an amateurish product with questionable rules development and playtesting. Perhaps most ridiculous are the USMC, who have 9-5-8 and 9-5-9 MMC. Even their dogs (2-0-8) are supermen.
The module comes with 4 scenarios, set in 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968. One scenario was based on a scene in the movie “Platoon.”
Like the previous module, this module is only available occasionally on E-bay and only for bids that would be far more than its actual value.
