    You're right.  I was looking over my stats again and can see that
there is no difference between the front and side/rear armor on the
M113.  I guess class 1 armor all around is the best answer.  Thanks for
pointing that out to me.

    I've been using SGII at home for Vietnam for a few months now.  SGII
is my favorite infantry combat system and I'm a Vietnam-era fanatic, so
the marriage had to occur sooner or later. <g>	If this scenario,
"Ambush at Nhi Vinh," pans out, I'll submit it for Historicon, as well.
BTW, at my GZG scenario discussion group's site
(http://www.egroups.com/group/gzg/info.html) you can find the
description for the scenario in the "vault."  I'll be upload some more
info there before the con.  After the scenario is retired, which might
not be until after GZG-ECC IV, I'll upload all the scenario specifics,
including the squad and vehicle data cards.
    Thanks again for your help.
