Did you actually destroy that HQ? by the screenshot you've posted you've not conducted the operation exactly where it was supposed to happen ;)

I am enjoying your AAR, thanks for doing it. I don't own the game yet. I'm having trouble following some of the details. Such as, post 37 "The operation gets underway as the 1st Marines land south of Tien Ton and encounter a hidden VC unit,the 3rd Battalion is following up and the Rangers are on there way,Airstrikes are called in form the carriers at Dixie station"
I don't see Tien Ton on the map. I assume it is under the RF counter. I also don't see the hidden VC unit. Maybe it's hidden, lol. Could you help me understand?

I'm with junk2drive....I really love your AAR....brings back memories. But it's sometimes difficult to know where the enemy is and where on the map we are. May I humbly suggest some supporting graphics to help with that. Like the picture below. Keep up the good work.
