Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube

After a review of the latest news of the Campaign Series and talking about what we have been working on behind the scenes we returned to the Street Without Joy. Our advances are continuing and we're slowly capturing and clearing hamlet after hamlet. We have run into some Viet Minh and are attempting to deal with them. I have realized that I don't have artillery support in a key area yet and there's a lot of random Viet Minh ambushes along the way. I did have a Vietnamese National Army infantry battalion becomes available, which will be transferred to the center of the map as the righting is getting ugly and I've run into more Viet Minh than I remember being there. The seaborne component has mostly landing and spreading along the coast. Resistance has been light in that sector so far, but I know it will change. The joy is coming.

We went over the latest news about the Campaign Series and some good news about the White Screen issue that has been plaguing some players. I showed off some Czech trucks and then we dove back into the scrapping south on Quang Tri in the Street Without Joy area of Vietnam. Resistance is getting stronger as we move into the Dong Que area but we have successfully secured Route 555, providing an opportunity for our artillery to move into position for the pending assault. Alas, the Viet Minh are keeping on their toes and took the opportunity to assault a lone tank platoon in a village taking a few of them out. Lessons learned...again.

Happy Easter! Thank you for tuning in. We went over the latest goodies I've been working on for Cold War and a brief update on the UPDATES for Middle East and Vietnam. Then we dove back into the Street Without Joy. Things are getting a little more intense as we are probing deeper into the Viet Minh held territory. A small number of pathing issues caused a significant ambush against a mechanized French force. Ugh, lessons learned indeed. On the bright side, we are making excellent progress into the heart of Street Without Joy.

May the 4th be with you! It was a good session with some significant progress as we advanced into the depths of the Viet Minh held territories. We're still locked in a heated battle for Dong Khe, the Viet Minh there are rather stubborn. The other forces continue to explore the various areas and we're running into some serious resistance in the middle of nowhere. The terrain definitely favours the Viet Minh and explains why they used this area for an operating base. I'm having to transfer reinforcements and artillery to key sectors to get the ball rolling in my favour. And here I thought the battle was nearly over.
