January 31, 1968, Vietnam: The Tet Offensive You have just turned out the lights and are preparing to sleep when the alarm sirens start wailing. A staff-sergeant runs into your tent to announce that the Vi?t C?ng are attacking the perimeter! With all the other high-ranking officers you run to the Tactical Operations Center. From there you have to organize the defense of Firebase Alvarado and call for support. But as PAVN and VC forces strike a number of other targets throughout South Vietnam you’ll certainly have to hold out on your own for some time. OBJECTIVE: You win by holding out until support arrives and wipes out the attackers! GAMEPLAY: Each turn is divided into 5 phases. Repeat until you win or lose. Game Design by Pascal Toupy. Volume I in the new C3i Good to Go Series, Firebase Vietnam is a bonus stand-alone solitaire game inside C3i Magazine Nr34 published by RBM Studio.
