You have to be a very poorly disciplined soldier to be captured on your own ambush. If an ambush is set correctly there should be nobody left to take you prisioner. If you think you cannot achieve this then policy is not to conduct the ambush but to let them go past (situation permitting) If you did want a prisioner in your scene I would make him injured, this would explain why he has been left behind.

Sounds like a pretty cool dio. As for Vietnam accessories I wold try Verlinden. They have a Vietnam Vechile Storage set you can use. The helmets can not be glue onto the figure heads though. Theres a few shotgune, crates, Flak Vest, with pistol Belt, and a Shirt wiht a M-16 on it. Theres also about 6 M-16 ammo pouches some with and some with out Grenades on the sides of them. For weapons DML has 2 nice sets you can use. a M-16 and a AK-47 weapons set both have Vietnam era weapons in it.

Hope that helps
Mike
