THE PROJECT
I am going to base the first part of the project on the scenario Binh Ba Market place in the Force on Force book Ambush Vallety from ambush alley games, The scenarion is based on events on the 7th/8th june 1969 when Australian forces engaged VC and NVA forces in the village of Binh BA , this was an unusual battle in this stage of the war as it involved fierce hand to hand combat and house to house fighting .
Step 1 will be the Australian forces which will be
Platoon HQ = Officer , NCO, RTO, Runner and Medic

Troops and AFV's advance on Binh Ba |
Step 1 will be the Australian forces which will be
Platoon HQ = Officer , NCO, RTO, Runner and Medic
3 x Rifle Sections each of :
Element 1= Leader , scout,MG team ,rifleman
Element 2= Leader ,Scout, 3xRiflemen
4 x CenturionMkV tanks
4 X M113 Cadillac cage turret
Then I will concentrate on the NVA /VC forces and then the Village its self , when all this is done I will expand the Australian forces to company size for a possible Long Tan Scenario .
Looking forward to seeing how this project develops. Will it be taken to shows in the North?
