    So your tired of battles in the Boonies? Vietnam offers other areas of battle. Tunnel Rats scenarios have always been fun for me. Have some WW1 battefield terrain pieces; craters, barbwire, pillboxes, and ofcourse dead trees you wanna use. Well these pieces could come in handy for a Hamburger Hill battle. Urban battles occured in Tet mainly in Saigon and Hue. Along the rivers in places like the Mekong Delta we have many instances of the "Brown water navy" operations, though you'd have trouble finding pieces for warfare this obscure. Air battles were also intense; look into Operation Bolo when 56 F4 Phantoms took on a entire PAF Base over North Vietnam.

Shaman Quirks

Random Events for your insurgency campagin
Accident in Aritllery: Some one forgot to that inches are different than milimeters. Explosion rocks your center.

Booby Trap: One of your forward soldiers who just moved suffers an injury.
Tribal Differences: A fist fight develops between two tribes in your Indig units.

My First "Mau Mau" scenario:
                                                                            You Have A Farm in Africa
 

               In WWII you and your 5 brothers were soldiers of Mussolini fighting in Africa. Your unit soon rotated home and you all heartily rejoiced about the nations descion to come over to the Allies and your 5-brothers took to the hills of Abruzzi with a band of anti-german guerrillas. In 1947, War weary you and your  five brothers moved to Kenya and helped a wealthy British plantation owner named Morris grow coffee. Then it happeneded; the Mau Mau. One of your loyal African help...informed you that the farm was a target Sigh....time to brake out the guns and hide the families.
            The old man Morris won't be much of a help. Put; him in a building armed with a pistol. If that building is attacked he'll defend it other than that he's put; full faith in his hired help.

MAP:  Mine had a low wall; 2 outer shacks and finally the place Morris is hiding...err protecting. The Mau Mau number 10 men and are fanatical; they will charge from the woods straight to the low wall.

Objective:
Kenyan Lib. Army: Brake through to the stash of what is believed to be weapons(Where Morris is)
Italians: Defend the old Man...be sure to ask for a raise after this.
 

ITALIANS(WWII Brits and German Figs)
Bro.\Wpn\ Note
Rocco: A luger\oldest of the brothers
Tuco: Old rusty MP40
Crocetti: Shotgun
Alfredo: bolt-action rifle\twin of Alessandro
Alessandro: bolt-action rifle\twin of Alfredo, the youngest

Morris\revolver\a widowed and bitter, WWI vet.

MAU MAU(I used Zulu War figs)
1 Leader with long knife & Molotov
8 Men with Spears
2 Men with Modern Rifles

Objective:
Kenyan Lib. Army: Brake through to the stash of what is believed to be weapons
Italians: Defend

SOLO PLAY: The Mau-Mau will blindly charge on; only 2 of the 10 have rifles. If your small group can hold out without taking any casualties for 4 turns in a row; the guerrillas will loose interest and flee to the woods.

MY GAME: Playing solo my Italians were at a disadvantage from the start; Tuco was seriously wounded by a KLA bullet and died a few turns later. The remaining four brothers were unable to retrieve his MP40. With this firepower gone; the two outer buildings held on until they were surrounded. Then they broke out and made a mad dash to Morris's home. The Europeans bariccaded the doors and while sporadic sniping followed; the Mau Mau soon lost interest and fled. Morris, A wounded Crocetti(By now armed only with Rocco's pistol) and Alessandro were the only men alive. The Mau Mau were reduced to four men at the battles conclusion.

My Second Mau Mau Scenario
 
 

 MAP: A small jungle clearing with several trails leading eveywhich way. The shack is rectangular. There is a door in each of the short ends.  Each door is guarded by a Mau Mau with a pistol. Inside there is a light source.  Outside the moon is at it's fullest. Thus, while being at night. Night penalities should probably be ignored.

Objective:
Kenyan Lib. Army: Defend the shack
British: Capture a Mau Mau and try to capture the shack or burn it down.
