I've been doing a little research on hex-and-counter game development and I've come to understand that Vietnam hasn't been a big setting for this style of game largely due to a some big changes in weapons technology since Korea -- namely, the outfitting of individual soldiers with fully automatic rifles which basically doesn't mesh with the current mechanics of your average Infantry Fire Table.

With that said, which game do you think does squad-level Vietnam scenarios the best?

Does anyone happen to have a clean PDF version (not scanned) of the Starter Kit rulebooks? I know MMP provides #4, but I can't seem to find the others. I own the physical games, but having these others in PDF would be helpful. (I know I can just disregard certain rules from #4, but I'm trying to ease a friend into things.)

I've been trying to find the right solitaire hex and counter game. How does everyone feel about Ambush! (from the 1980s)? Is this solitaire at its finest -- or at least the better end of the spectrum?
