What do we think of these browser-based wargames?

Hi All. I went down a little bit of a rabbit hole to see what was out there in terms of browser-based hex-and-counter wargames. Here are some I found:

Battle for Moscow (obviously)
Bridgehead: 1944
Assaye 1803
Hohenfriedeberg
Take That Hill!
Art of Battle 2
Waterloo Campaign 1815
Unconditional Surrender! WWII in Europe (via BGA)
Memoir '44 (via BGA)
Hex: 1900-1999 (in Portuguese)
Four Star General
Broken Arrow: Ia Drang
1914: The World Undone (trilogy)
Operation Nightfall
SGW Hexagonal Wargame
Operation Brevity

A number of these games are on itch.io and at different stages of development -- some fully operational and some with just scaffolding. What are your favorites?

Best Vietnam squad-level game?

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?

Starter Kit #1 Rulebook PDF?

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.)

Just picked up an old copy of Ambush!

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?
