About the Game

River Rats: PBRs and PCFs in Vietnam is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire/2-player co-op print and play wargame using a tables-based game engine.

As the commander of either a US Navy PBR or PCF patrol boat operating in the Vietnam Mekong Delta region, your ultimate goal is to survive a 1-year Vietnam tour of duty during the year 1969. Encounter missions will include Viet Cong ambushes, MEDEVAC rescues, US SEAL/ARVN insertions and extractions, Sampan Stop and Searches, and Sampan Firefights.

The player will move his squadron through various travel boxes on a map during each mission, then must successfully return back to home base.

Game components include a crewmen placement mat, strategic map mat, tables book, crewmen status sheet, campaign log sheet, and counter sheet representing individual boats, enemy units, etc.
