Charlie Don’t Surf!

These PDF rules are comprehensive in that they contain all you’ll need to game the period, including details of force organisation for the the US, ARVN, ANZAC and Communists, a scenario and mission generation system, along a force and objective generator to ensure that no two games are the same.
