Vietnam War Conversion Version 1.61 Release date: Feb-2020

Foreword

Our Mindset From the start we have always thought of building these rules as a way of utilizing Bolt Action to play Vietnam with a community driven mindset, converting as much as we could from current rules while trying to keep an overall balance to each force. Unfortunately, we have had to sacrifice some of the historical context to maintain the basic building block approach, and it has resulted in some tough decisions. What Next With the basic building blocks set we can now build out towards the historical side of the Vietnam War. Our focus will shift towards creating theater books, but we will maintain this rule book as we keep on striving for balance and playability driven by the larger community. Thank You! Mark and I did not envision a brief hobby chat one night over how we wanted to use the Bolt Action system for Vietnam games would have evolved in to a 30-page book, a vibrant international community, and people playing something we created! It is amazing to think about the support we have from everyone, and we hope you continue to enjoy what started as a crazy idea! These achievements have not been a small task and we have had to lean on a wider team and the Bolt Action Vietnam community to get to where we are so…. Thank you, I have been completely humbled by the whole experience. Special thanks to:

• Mark Hazel – 2IC and sometimes 1IC, many late-night calls

• Jacob Bongers – Motivational Officer, Editor in Chief, generally great guy

• VC on the Trail Officer Core – The 7 amazing guys who devoted many hours to discussing completely minor rules and points

• VC on the Trail Community page – for testing/questions/photos, this is where the real detailed work happened Author David Mulder

Rule Conversions: Anti-Tank Guided Missile This weapon has the following profile: Range:60”-24” ROF: 1 Pen: 7 HE: 0 Special: can fire direct or indirect. Shaped charge. When unit is activated do not role to hit, place a marker beside the target unit and only role to hit at the end of the turn applying any new pin markers or visibility changes of the target unit. Beehive Round Single shot round that count as a medium howitzer with a range of 12”, always counts as point blank, no long-range penalty. Cold War Advisor This unit grants +1 dice to an officer within 6” preforming a ‘Snap To’ action, this does not require the Cold War advisor to action and is a constant effect. Forward Spotter A Forward Spotter acts as a spotter for the Observer team RTO, the forward spotter must follow the same rules as a spotter but does not affect the rest of the squad he is assigned to. Grenade Board Assaulting unit with a grenade board negates defended obstacle rule for defenders Grenade Launcher Grenade Launchers including the M203 can fire direct with a range of 12” or indirect as a small mortar Killer Junior Target infantry shot at by an artillery unit with this rule cannot select to go down as a reaction, artillery units using this rule add -1 to hit when firing LAW These work the same as a Panzerfaust LMG Modern LMG does not require the second man to load the gun so when the LMG shoots, the assistant can also shoot. This does mean all other normal rules apply to the LMG as the assistant is still the ammo carrier. Minigun This counts as three medium machine guns Missiles These count as Panzerfausts that can only target air units with unlimited range Recoilless Rifle These count as man packed gun team with the appropriate anti-tank gun rating RPG These work the same as a Panzerschreck, counts as a small arm and can split fire. RTO An RTO acts as an artillery observer Seek and Destroy Can fire on unsuspecting units within 24’, cannot be targeted for AP or AT traps, tunnel units must be placed 18’ away from this unit. Shotgun This weapon has the following profile: Range: 12” ROF: 1 Special: Assault, if target unit is within 6” then this weapon causes D3 wounds Single Shot M40 These count as a Panzerfaust with a range of 24 Slow Amphibious Vehicles with this rule have the amphibious rule but can only advance 6” and run 12” in submerge terrain Squad Radio A unit with a Squad Radio can receive a Snap To order when the unit is up to 12” from the platoon commander rather than 6”. Unit cannot start Hidden. When the model assigned the Squad Radio is removed from play, the unit suffers a permanent -1 to morale.



Strela-2 These count as a medium anti-tank gun with flak Super Bazooka These work the same as a Panzerschreck Tracking Dogs This unit receives an additional attack in close combat, hidden enemy units within 24” no longer count as hidden, units cannot forward deploy within 18” of a unit with a tracking dog. Vulcan This counts as three heavy machine guns

Transport Helicopters Units with this special rule act like warplanes (additional rules) but when using an advance order, they can choose to land in the same way an end location is picked for warplanes. Once landed the helicopter is treated like a transport unit (armor 7, open topped) and can choose to use a fire order and can be fired upon. Unoccupied transport helicopters can fire all weapons. Once they are airborne again, they must exit the table as per normal. If a transport helicopter is shot down or pins cap reached while in the air while transporting any units, all units aboard are destroyed. Any towed gun or vehicle must be placed behind the helicopter once it lands and normal towing rules apply from that point onwards. If a transport helicopter is shot down or pins cap reached while in the air while towing any unit, all towed units are destroyed.

Traps and Tricks These rules should be marked by the player which unit they are assigned to, only one of the following rules can be selected per unit per army until all rules have been selected then the rule can be selected again. Alternatively, these can be randomly selected on a D6 roll for each unit with this rule, ignore the above rules if random selection is used. When the rule is first activated roll a D6, on a 1-2 the special fails, on a 3+ follow the chart below.

1. Unsuspecting – This unit cannot be fired on until they shoot or come with 18’ of an enemy unit 2. Anti-personal trap – Once per game as a reaction when an enemy unit moves, auto hit as a light mortar. When first activated if a 1 is

rolled then a friendly unit closest to the target unit suffers this hit instead 3. Anti-tank trap – Once per game as a reaction when an enemy unit moves, auto hit at +5 pen. When first activated if a 1 is rolled then

a friendly unit closest to the target unit suffers this hit instead 4. Tunnels – Once per game place this unit up to 12’ from enemy unit and go down, unit losses this rule if they enemy comes within 12’ 5. War Reporter – At start of game select enemy unit, they can reroll moral tests but take an additional pin when hit. 6. Morale Attack – Once per game select an enemy unit, +1 pin marker and must take a moral test or go down this turn. When first

activated if a 1 is rolled then a friendly unit closest to the target unit receives +1 pin instead
