The opposing teams will enter the field from their respective parking areas at the opposite ends of the field. Additional details to follow.
GAMEPLAY:
The operation begins US forces having just been airlifted into Landing Zone Victor.
Once underway, the US forces have several objectives:
-Establish a defensive perimeter.
-Locate a position somewhere along the perimeter of the LZ (not more than 10 meters into the tree line) and set up their base of operations. This will be their camp area as well. A screened in canopy must be erected first and foremost. This canopy will be a "goggles off" zone.
-Organize patrols to search for VC troops as part of their “search and destroy” mission. Their final objective will be to locate and occupy the VC camps
Respawn will be at 15 minute intervals.
Respawn area for US: Center of LZ Victor
Respawn area for Viet Cong: Individual encampents (Info for VC forces only)

Crew Served machine guns must be fired from a prone position, or “from the hip”. However, the player is not allowed to fire the weapon while on the move.
Machine gunners will be required to have an assistant near them at all times. One of these two players (machine gunner or assistant) must carry an ammo can with them at all times. There is no requirement to do anything with the ammo can other then to keep it with the machine gun crew in order to represent the burden of carrying ammo. It will be at the players discretion of they choose to actually carry anything IN the ammo can.
