Crossfire is great! Many moons ago Barrie  Lovell did a Vietnam adaptation called 'Grunts', I'll see if I can find a link later...

Apart from its treatment of vehicles. Could look at my set  Enfilade, which is on a Yahoo group.

Hmm finally fond it, you will need a copy of Crossfire to play it http://web.archive.org/web/20110504052148/http://www.eleven-bravo.co.uk/wargaming/incoming/index.php (http://web.archive.org/web/20110504052148/http://www.eleven-bravo.co.uk/wargaming/incoming/index.php), but there are lots of free Vietnam games out there...

Hi

Depends on which part you want to play. Most strong points were held by company sized units. So the unit scaling is important.

I've played operation castor which is the airborne prelude to the siege with cold war commander and it worked great.

You might want to look into getting Tropic Lightning (or Tropic Thunder) from Battlefront. They decided to do a one-off Vietnam game and it works quite well.
