Surviving 'Nam Vietnam Rules Released!

Ganesha Games announced that my cooperative and solo Vietnam skirmish rules are officially released and for sale. There are a number of sources to buy a print-on-demand copy or download the PDF. There will also be vendors or stores that carry them, as well. I am including a list below with links to each of the sources for the rules. As most of you may know, I have been working on them for about a year now. I have a large group of more than a dozen play testers, including ones in the UK, Italy, France, and the U.S.

As of this moment, the rules are available for PDF download from the following two sources:

They will be also be up for PDF download on Ganesha Games' page in Itch.io.

Andrea will next upload them for print on demand at:

• Amazon

• Lulu

• Wargame Vault (including a bundle of PDF & print)

Note that currently the above links take you to Ganesha Games' page on those site. Look for the title to be available early next week (hopefully sooner). I will change the links to the appropriate page once Surviving 'Nam is up on them.

The Event Cards for the game can be obtained by players in a number of ways:

Players can simply photocopy or print the ones in the rules and place them in card sleeves.
Players can download a PDF file of the cards and print them and place them in sleeves.
Players can purchase them from Drivethrucards in either Poker size or Tarot size.

Once again, I will add links to the above once they are available.

Also, I have started a Facebook group for Surviving 'Nam. If you're interested in the rules, the period, or like pics and battle reports, please join! There's already lots of posts from folks and I'm hopping to keep up and respond to all of the comments. Finally, if you would like to read more about them, feel free to peruse any of my battle reports from my own solo campaign or AARs from the various conventions I have run Surviving 'Nam at this year and last. Just look at the topics on the right, and click on Surviving 'Nam to see all posts I've made that are connected to the rules.
