Hi dlazov66 i use photoscape its a free download,It got lots of features chopping cropping arrows lines text and so on.ORIGINAL: dlazov66
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.
Regards
Ian
The battle of Medjerda is almost forgotten,but was fought against highly disciplined German troops and blasted a route straight to Tunis it was a perfect infiltration battle and should be remembered as the best fought British battle of the war.
RE: Boonie Rats The Vietnam War 1965 1972

Thanks Ian, I'll google it and give it a try. I dig that 3D'ish text overlay and think it adds pop and snazz to the AAR!
Thanks for the name of the app you used.

The ROK Tiger division and the ARVN forces in the Qui Nhon/Ia Drang vally area are under increasing pressure and will need US assistance to overcome the growing NVA/VC threat around Pleiku and Ben Het.
The US 25th Infantry Division at Nha Trang to the south is nearly complete but will have to recapture Tuy Hoa before any units can be sent to help the ROK units.

RE: Boonie Rats The Vietnam War 1965 1972
Have you seen the monsoon last until August? I arrived at Ubon, Thailand Aug. 6, 1972 and they started me flying missionsORIGINAL: sapper32
Turn 16 June 1966
The monsoon continues into june....
down south ( around Tan Son Nhut ) during the monsoon. The northern areas were socked in ( NorthEastern Cambodia, Western
Laos, etc. ) so I had to fly for about two weeks through and around the clouds and didn't fire a thing. It was a waste of JP-4 IMHO
but it counted for my air metals so I wasn't complaining.
His is going to be the most world-wide anticipated obituary in the history of the world. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The NVA 66th and 18th regiments supported by Arty and VC units are attacking the ROK Tiger division units around Pleiku and have being forced back,The US are rushing some units to relive the pressure on the garrison,maybe the monsoon will be over next turn (august)and mt troops will be rested ready to crush these NVA attacks

RE: Boonie Rats The Vietnam War 1965 1972
Are you using an updated version of this scenario or the one that comes with the patched game?
RE: Boonie Rats The Vietnam War 1965 1972
Hi Aces its the original version that comes with the game im using the 3xBb patch,I played it way back in 2007 when i bought the game(wow ive being playing TOAW III for 7/8 years thats great value for money)so i cant realy make a comparison as to how it is playing but the NVA/VC seem a little easy to destroy when surrounded but they are conducting some good attacks at the momment against SV and US forces,Im looking forward to seeing how my ARVN army does against the NVA when the US leaves but thats a long way off yet,So for now i will keep using my superior numbers and equiptment to batter the NVA/VC and do as much damage as i can.ORIGINAL: Aces8
