Movement Rates and Common Game Info for all Players

The movement rates that can be expected are as follows: -

Force	Type	MP
US / ARVN	Foot	18
US / ARVN	Mech	40
NVA / VC	Foot	21
NVA / VC Arty	Foot	15

These Movement Points are then used to cross terrain types in a 12 hour period. Each Terrain type has a different cost.

Type	MP Cost
Clear	01
Road	0.5 / 1 for foot
Paddy	02
Hill	02
Jungle	03
Mountain	04

So in a 12 hour turn a Battalion of NVA infantry moving through jungle would cover roughly 7 Km.


The following types of orders can be given to your forces (lowest level is company).

Move / Assault = Specify where they are to move to or what target to attack.

The ranges of artillery are as bellow

Type	Range
155mm	14km
105mm	11km
81mm	6km
5"	16km
8"	29km
122mm Rkts	20km

You can communicate between commanders via Radio but messages will be subject to interception by your opponents.

All radio messages must be written on the appropriate forum that you have access to, they will then be transcribed by the umpire to the right commander and if intercepted will be also be shown to your opponent.

Runners will operate in same method but the message will take a lot longer (depending on distance) and could get lost altogether if intercepted by enemy patrols.

FYI - Maps Used for both City and Large area are all 1km Squares.
