Operation Market Garden - 80th Anniversary
Preparation for Today's Live Wargame
Getting ready for today’s live wargame.
We’re up in less than 30 minutes! Swing by and check us out!
Live TODAY at 2PM East US Time, 7PM UK Time
The general layout of the Vietnam War's geography, with the small yellow circle approximating the location of today's special forces skirmish. Totally NOT in Laos, of course. That would be ILLEGAL. What would CONGRESS say?
The Montagnard (French slang: "People of the Mountain") is a blanket term for a whole spectrum of non-Vietnamese native tribes who lived in the Vietnamese backcountry. These people always hated the Vietnamese central governments, both North and South, but especially the Communists. Tough, resourceful, and with intimate knowledge of the terrain, they made excellent guerilla fighters, often trained by US Special Forces as part of the CIDG program. 
The map for today's game. We'll be playing double blind, with only these marker counters at first. Only when a counter is identified do we show what enemy force is mapped to that counter ... or if there are any enemy forces there at all (half of these will be straight out "dummy counters").
The PAVN / NVA and NLF / Viet Cong forces for today's game.
The US MACV/SOG and CODG Montagnard forces for today's game. There's also an ARVN officer here as a Saigon "observer."
