Going into Cambodia will cost me +1 to the EEV is it worth it ? I think i will try to draw them into South Vietnam next time that was a mistake, Also have use the TO request US reinforcements also +1 to the EEV but i need the Assault squads

Please do not select the U.S. REPLACEMENT OPTION...it is a horrible use of EEV bring another U.S. division. It will give you fa more combat power and then just all it you replacement command and slowly cannibalize it and any badly damaged companies you have. Your number of combat units will slowly shrink but that is going to happen anyway.

The US replacement option is a trap....the EEV cost is incredibly bad for what you get. You used to get a small amount of replacements when you brought in New U.S. units but not in this vesion....you have to to cannibalize.

To late its done already lets see how it pans out, Ive never used it before i seem to remember i brought in the Arty a bit earlier last time i played they are so usefull and realy hurt the VC/NVA before you assault them, Im not sure that i played it right only bringing in some US brigades at the start they just havent got the fire power to hurt the NVA without taking assault squad losses.

Thanks for your input Narses i seem to be re learning this game as i go along

US Turn 20 July 1966

The news string isn't a good read for the US and shows a clear upsurge in VC activity

[sapper32]

US Turn 20 July 1966

The VC seem to be every where but with the aid of my Arty I am just about keeping them in check, The NVA are becoming a problem and are crossing the border from North Vietnam ,Laos and Cambodia I think maybe an airmobile division will be called up soon lets see. The ROK Marine Brigade has been flown in to Pleiku as a VC regiment is approaching from the north Kontum province is now seeing more VC activity and will have to be garrisoned I will send the rest of the Korean forces to safeguard Kontum.
The VC are active in Tay Ninh province yet again US and ARVN forces have been cut off from there supply bases at Tay Ninh city, US Arty and ground assault will have to clear the supply road north, It is belived that 2 or more VC units are at large here.

US Turn 21 August 1966

I Corps AO US and ARVN forces are dug in for now and trading ARTY fire with the NVA who is taking heavy losses, I feel that for now the forces i have in this sector are sufficient to deal with what the VC/NVA are throwing at me.

[sapper32]

US Turn 21 August 1966

II Corps AO The ROK Marine Brigade are defending Pleiku from 2 known VC units in the area, The ROK Tiger Division was en route to Kontum province to reinforce the Marines when the cavlary regiment was ambushed by VC in the mountain passes the rest of the division has been airlifted in to eliminate the VC, There are not a lot of units in this sector but it isnt infested with VC so troop levels will stay as they are for now.
