Hey Boonie a quick question after starting operation Da Chi 129 ive had no VP awarded what is the criteria for this destroying the VC HQ?,i havent used all the forces in the briefing one was in reorg.
Thanks Ian

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 played and enjoyed this scenario some time ago. But I really wasn't able to understand wich is the criteria for the VP award. I have to simply use the right units in the right hex or I am supposed to found and destroy the enemy unit sitting there somewhere? Or every mission have his own VP award criteria?

To sapper: really nice AAR! Keep it coming![:)]

Hi Sker some of the missions you carry out from the breifing are wild goose chases you find no VC but you still get the VPs the mission in the post you quoted i was in the wrong area so didnt get any VPs but did find VC i didnt read the mission brief correctly and was looking in the U Minh forest not 10km South east of Kien Long,I dont think you have to destroy any units you find just get there and claim the VPs

Mission VPS are allocated after occupying a specific hex in the operational area (units don't really matter), some are obvious, some are less so ;)
