BOLT ACTION VIETNAM: NEW EQUIPMENT CHARTS, BOATS AND HELICOPTERS

After some requests here are my Vietnam equipment lists and rules for helicopters and boats.  Hope you find it useful.  You will see that I have reduced the effect of some weapons to improve playability.  I am also considering some other changes to the rules for fighting in dense jungle terrain.  These will be added later.
