Greetings, Here's an addition for the Grognards page if you think folks would find it helpful or interesting. Thanks, R. Ben Madison *********** VICTORY IN VIETNAM II: Hex Catalogue I always write down what happens in wargames that I play. But it’s boring to have to say “the epic battle of Hex 1213.” So, since I have a degree in geography, I like to make Hex Catalogues and assign a real place name to each hex in a wargame. That makes telling the story in a replay much more interesting and realistic. This is my Hex Catalogue for Schutze Games’ “Victory in Vietnam II.” Note that this particular game map has a lot of strange errors (including two important towns which are in each other’s places). So not everything on the map actually works out to real geography. But I’ve done the best I could. If a given hex contains more than one identifiable town or city, I’ve chosen a name that reflects some battle or other event in the Vietnam War. Note that this list of hexes only covers the map portion dealing with South Vietnam (which is where the vast majority of the fighting will take place). Two or three hexes in Cambodia are also named. Place names in ALL CAPS are ones that already appear on the map. ********** 0423 Kampot 0523 Kompong Trach 0524 Hon Chong 0622 Chau Phu 0623 Tri Ton 0626 Ong Trang 0721 Chau Doc 0722 Cho Moi 0723 Hon Dat 0724 RACH GIA 0725 An Xuyen 0726 Nam Can 0818 Banam 0819 SVAY RENG 0820 Tan Chau 0821 Cao Lanh 0822 Long Xuyen 0823 Chau Thanh 0824 Ap Luc 0825 Cai Nuoc 0826 Tan An 0919 Dog’s Head 0920 Chiphu 0921 Plain of Reeds 0922 Sa Dec 0923 CAN THO 0924 Vi Thanh 0925 QUAN LONG (Camau) 0926 Vinh Loi 1014 Dak To 1015 Duc Co 1016 Tieu Atar 1017 Phuoc Long 1018 AN LOC 1019 Hui Ba Den 1020 TAY NINH 1021 Ap Bac 1022 Vinh Long 1023 Mac Bat 1024 Vinh Quoi 1025 Bac Lieu 1112 KHE SANH 1114 Kham Duc 1115 KONTUM 1116 PLEIKU 1117 Highway 14 1118 Quan Loi 1119 Tau O Bridge 1120 Dac Tieng 1121 Tan Son Nhut Airbase 1122 MY THO 1123 Vinh Binh 1124 Soc Trang 1125 Ap Dau Giong 1211 Con Thien 1212 Dai Do 1213 A Shau Valley (Hamburger Hill) 1214 Mang Buc 1215 Plateau Gi 1216 Ia Drang Valley 1217 BAN ME THUOT 1218 Darlac Plateau 1219 Ben Cat 1220 BIEN HOA 1221 SAIGON 1222 Ben Tre 1223 Don Chau 1224 Vinh Chau 1312 QUANG TRI 1313 HUE 1314 Hoi An 1315 Tra Bong 1316 Ha Thanh 1317 Ankhe Pass 1318 Lac Thien 1319 Dalat 1320 Xuan Loc 1321 Long Thanh 1322 VUNG TAU 1413 DANANG 1414 Chu Lai 1415 QUANG NGAI 1416 Gia Vuc 1417 Van Canh 1418 Khanh Duong 1419 Than Rang 1420 Phan Thiet 1516 Bong Son Plain 1517 QUI NHON 1518 NHA TRANG (not “Cam-Ran” Bay, as it says on the map) 1519 CAM RANH BAY (not “Nha Trang”, as it says on the map) -- Join a nation small enough for your voice to be heard...
