Most Vietnam wargaming focuses on fighting in the countryside, usually jungle or rice paddies. This means that there is a very limited number of buildings for sale that is suitable for Hu\u00e9. But what is a suitable building? Many buildings, especially in the part south of the Perfume river, where the initial fighting by the Marines took place, are of French colonial origin. Some buildings, such as the MACV compound<\/a>, were of more modern architecture. Older Vietnamese houses were of single-storey. Common for both the single-storey and the larger colonial houses is a low roof angle. Pictures of the fighting show an abundance of walls and hedgerows, which is excellent for a gaming table, as it both provides cover and forms compartments that makes a table feel bigger than it actually is.<\/p>\n
