The biggest operation of the war so far involves the US 1st Infantry,US 1st Cavalry and the 173rd Airborne bde supported by massive Arty and Air strikes.The NVA 101st Division and Local VC units are hit hard and breakout of the US cordon to escape destruction however next turn should see them destroyed,US casualties were light.

I'm not familiar with all the scenario sites,

Thanks

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...):

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

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