Sapper32,

My question to you is, when you made the screen shots, how did you add text like that? It's pretty cool looking (red and green font on 3d black background) and a neat effect.

petey - get it here(don't know exactly which one...):

https://sites.google.com/site/vietnamcombatoperations/

Just to clarify, this is not one of Stéphane "Boonie Rats" Moutin-Luyat's VCO scenarios, but a scenario called Boonie Rats, designed by Steve Overton. It is available at Rugged Defense:
http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenarii/browse_scenario.php (in the directory tree to the right, go 'Cold war/Vietnam War', and you will find it).

Edit: that download is for ACOW. Ian, is there a TOAW III version around?

Hi Martin yes the TOAW III version is available in the modern asia folder and comes with the game although it is an early version 3.0 i think,My main reason for playing this one is the smaller map size 10km hex and only 90 turns so a fair bit smaller than Curts exellent CSV which im slowly getting through vs the AI

[Martin_Goliath]

Ian,
I totally missed that the scenario is part of the game dist. Thanks for sorting that out!
