Stephane's VCO scenarios for TOAWIII were the best, I still play them occasionally.

Too bad they weren't fully (or at all) updated for TOAW IV. VCO was the chief reason I purchased the upgrade. Oh well, I still have TOAW III installed for that reason.

Yes, I also have TOAW III installed for the same reason.

On This Day

24 November, 1965

A U.S. military spokesman reported that 240 American servicemen had been killed in the war during the week of 14–20 November, in the deadliest week of the war for Americans up to that time. During the years 1961–4, there had been 244 U.S. deaths, only slightly more than the casualties for the week. The newest casualties raised the toll to 1,335 dead and 6,131 wounded.

On This Day

25 November, 1968

New rules of engagement (ROE) were promulgated for U.S. Navy and USAF fighters that were escorting reconnaissance aircraft over North Vietnam. Although bombing of North Vietnam had been halted, planes still flew in North Vietnamese airspace as far north as the 19th parallel. Under the new ROE, U.S. escort planes were allowed to fire missiles if they missions came under attack, including not just anti-aircraft weapons, as well as "installations and immediate supporting facilities." "American pilots," a U.S. Navy historian would later note, "became more aggressive over time, occasionally attacking sites that illuminated them with radar even if no shots were fired."

An Air America C-46 crashed shortly after takeoff from Savannakhet Airport killing 26 on board.

All I can contribute is…

Goood Moorning Vietnam!
