The following is the map to be used in the RP. Yes I realize Khe Sanh wasn't an island but it helps the RP.
(HD Version can be found here: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n125 ... heSanh.jpg)
Rules:
No more than five nations per side (Redfor vs Bluefor)
No weapons of mass destruction (Biological, chemical or nuclear. Exceptions may be made in EXTREME circumstances but ask first.)
Military strength must not exceed one regiment/brigade (Approx. 3-5 thousand or 3-8 battalions)
Deception, traps, ambushes and political intrigue are allowed so long as moderation and realism is thought of first
ALL Bluefor troops must base themselves at Khe Sanh airfield or they cannot receive supplies and logistic support.
ALL Redfor troops live off the land and enemy logistics, they gain forces slower but can recuperate anywhere on the map.
Bluefor must hold Khe Sanh AND force Redfor to surrender
Redfor must take Khen Sanh OR force Bluefor to surrender
Choose a branch, Marines, Mechanized, Armoured, Motorized, Air Force, Air Cavalry, Airborne etc.
ALL Military forces must be divided into Brigades/Regiments, Battalions and Companies using the following key:
Brigade/Regiment = 4 battalions
Battalion = 6 companies
Company = 4 platoons
platoon = 25 people
You don't need to know exact numbers of your troops, just remember the name of the section of troops you are using in the RP.
There are a lot of rules but you will always have a second chance if you break them, accidents happen and they're hard to remember.
If you have 4 battalions, 1 battalion may be support with a company dedicated to artillery (a Battery), 1 may be a mechanized section to transport troops, 1 may a helicopter section etc. While these together would not make a formal battalion, they are conglomeration
of several company strength sections which add up to a battalion.

My personal APP for example's sake:
Name: Vivoe
What real life nation will you RP: Australia
Faction: Blufor
RP Sample: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=285711
Do you promise to keep troop density realistic: Yes
Do you promise not to write one liner posts: Yes
Do you promise to try to be as realistic as YOU can be: Yes
Explain your order of battle and arrangement of troops:
Regiment: Royal Australian Regiment
Battalions: 1RAR, 2RAR, 3RAR, 4RAR (Support Battalion)
Companies: 6 companies to 1RAR, 2RAR and 3RAR
Special sections, teams or units: 4RAR
Composed of: 1 transport helicopter company, 1 105mm howitzer battery, 1 M113 mechanized company, 1 Centurion tank company, 1 bushranger gunship company, 1 81mm mortar company
Good luck, remember if a town has a dozen houses in it, send a platoon or a company, not the whole regiment!
If you can say it with words, you can edit the map on MS Paint, diagrams and arrows look cool as well as conveying a movement of forces and troops more easily.
