Flashpoint Vietnam Idea

Hi; So I rightfully expect to be beat up for having ZERO idea of how much work there would be in this, BUT - :roll: -

I think this engine would translate exceptionally well to the conflict in Vietnam. The unit scale starting at half-squads. That also fits a typical vehicle or aircraft crew (single vehicles, single rotary aircraft, or pairs of fixed-wing support craft.

Having played a ton of FPG and a lot of Southern Storm, I believe the scale would work perfectly - Scenarios could be company sized, such as moving your command to contact.

Or platoon or even squad sized - searching a village, Moving a LRRP team from contact to an LZ; Search and rescue of a downed pilot; Infiltrating or defending an NDP.


Well, I'd but it. Thanks for reading.

While I totally agree with you, what you are wishing for seems a lot like Matrix Campaign Series: Vietnam.

Best wishes!

While we do want to take FPC into other time periods and theaters, I don't think the engine would scale down to half squads and single vehicles. That would take a totally different engine.
