Piquet: Forgotten Heroes

A company-level miniatures rules set for recreating conflicts in Vietnam, from early Search and Destroy operations to the 1975 collapse. Players command infantry companies, supporting assets, and platoons during village sweeps, helicopter insertions, bunker assaults, convoy ambushes, riverine actions, and fire base attacks. Rules cover tunnel systems, civilians, caches, booby traps, command-detonated mines, night combat, rules of engagement, ground surveillance radar, and other features of the conflict. Event cards add incidents such as defections, media attention, civilian relations, and command problems. The game includes equipment lists and TO&Es for US, ARVN, Australian, Viet Cong, and NVA forces, two introductory scenarios, and additional rules for the First Indochina War.
