Good ideas

[Jesterzzn]

Search and destroy are always fun. Another fun thing is to take a creature from one of the monsters and animals books and pit a group of players against it a la a movie I can't mention or this might be considered a conversion. Hint: The Governor of California and the former Governor of Minnesota stared in it together.

I miss that book.

Go to your GI Joe comics if you want somethign not 'Nam specific.

But isn't recon about nam stuff anyway?

Recon itself is, but with Advanced Recon (or just some imagination) you can easily incorporate any number of mercenary scenarios...from the war on drugs in South America, unrest in Africa or South East Asia. One of the campaigns I ran that my players liked was this; we played a 'Nam style campaign all they way up past the withdrawal. Once home, they were discharged, and later approached by people who had family that were POW and wanted to employ the players to go back, go in, find them, and rescue them. Just some ideas.

I want to dust of my recon And can"t think of any missions

You have any family that were in Vietnam? Sometimes I ask my father what types of missions, LRRPs, and other type of operations that he did there. It's given me some ideas to put into the games I GM.

Check out the military history section of a bookstore and there are plenty of guys who wrote personal accounts. You can also find information about battles. You can probably find books on special forces to learn the sorts of things they are doing - but the cool thing about that is that they can be doing things no one talks about.

The missions in the RECON book are pretty good - at least for some ideas.
