Based
on the firefights and characters from the Academy Award winning movie,
"Platoon" re-creates the problems and pressures of man-to-man jungle warfare
in the Vietnam War. The game has a built-in element of uncertainty, so
what seems to be a certain victory could turn into a loss ... which gives
it high replay value. Introductory game included. Four scenarios included.
Re-introduces the Battle Manual, a staple of past Avalon Hill games. A
fairly good game based on a movie.
Game
components include : 2 Mapboards, 102 Unit Counters, 36 Chit Counters,
7 Marker counters, 2 Substitution cards, 80 plastic bases, two 10-sided
Dice, 20-page Battle Manual & Rules sheet.
Two
players. Ages 15 & up. Avalon Hill from 1986.
Additional
info: There was an article on this game in "The General" magazine Vol.
25 # 2
An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
