This is the Wednesday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. Made it through another 10 turns or so of A Week in Mekong, Day 6. It is nearing the end of the day as I received the notifications about where my units should be laagering for the night. Will I make it? 3d/60th maybe, the other two battalions aren't going to. I see more night fighting in my future!

This is the Sunday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. Day 6 night has fallen and I didn't quite finish securing all the locations that I was tasked with for Day 6, although pretty darn close. I also found out that I have 3d/60th Infantry platoons operating with 3d/47th Infantry in Area SIGMA and RO. Ugh. My helicopters are working overtime to get everyone where they are supposed to be for the night. I miss my gunships.

This is the Wednesday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. Day 6 night went quite quickly, but I spent a lot of it doing large movements still trying to organize my forces again for the final day. I'm still surprised my units were so disorganized, I really thought I had them in decent shape. Alas, no. On the bright side, we made it to morning and have found the new missions for Day 7. A Viet Cong regular force battalion is operating in the area, which means a hard fight ahead.

This is the Sunday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. Day 7 has started in earnest and I have already run into heavily defended Viet Cong positions. I am sorting out my forces and preparing for assaults. One assault went off without a hitch, but I have run into another complex that is very well defended. Smoke will be my friend.

This is the Wednesday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. Day 7 is all combat, combat and then some more combat. That is the theme of this session. A whole bunch of fighting. Some good, but mostly bad. Ugh, I wish I had my gunships.

This is the Sunday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. With the final day in the campaign, Day 7 is turning out to be as expected. A large battle, with lots of small battles. I'm finally making some progress as I push through the afternoon. Some losses, some wins. It's a hell of a fight!

This is the Wednesday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. With the final day in the campaign, Day 7 is turning out to be as expected. Extremely thankful for my ARVN troops, as they are bearing the brunt of the final assaults of the day. This session provides a lot of good lessons for infantry combat with heavy support and airstrikes. Literally, two hours worth of examples!

This is the Sunday live play session where I continue to play through A Week in the Mekong Delta. Using the 1.22 UPDATE, the battle continues. With the final day in the campaign, Day 7 is winding down and darkness has fallen. Unfortunately, the road clearing operation took a bit longer than I thought, so my convoy is moving at night. Will I make it back in time? I'm not sure.

The final A Week in Mekong session, as we ended the scenario. After, there was a great Q&A session where I was able to answer a bunch of questions! Thank you for those that participated, they were fantastic questions!

Thank you Jason! I really enjoyed myself last evening with all the questions and comments. Good Stuff all around!!

Starting the A Week in Binh Long campaign. This will be significantly more complicated than A Week in the Mekong Delta. Everything is different and will require a new toolkit to complete the missions that will be assigned for this campaign. It starts off slow, with only two battalions in the field on Day 1, but will grow to 9+ battalions as the week progresses. There was also some great viewer questions!

The second session of A Week in Binh Long. And just like that, I'm already taking casualties, to IED's and snipers at the moment. I did run into a nest at Hill 171 in Area LOUISIANA where 2d/28th Infantry is operating. Two Companies of 1st/16th conducted two flawless Combat Assaults into Area ALASKA while the rest of the battalion pushes north on QL13.

The third session of A Week in Binh Long. I finally have a bridge built south of Loc Ninh, and the column will be moving north. We have landed an LRRP team in Cambodia, let's see how long it survives! Otherwise, IED's continue to be the bane of my existence and causing my casualties. I did take some time to jump into Bootcamp 2 for Nic to see if we could figure out his problem, which was resolved, but if you want a good laugh - watch me get DESTROYED!

The fourth session of A Week in Binh Long. Half way through Day 1. Things looked liked they were going smooth, but alas, was I wrong indeed. I went over some methodology of what I do when I play to keep things organized in my head and answered a bunch of questions. There was some combat and some unexpected surprises.

The fifth session of A Week in Binh Long. The Firebase is safe! There's far more movement now happening in the background. The NVA/VC are active, I just haven't found them yet. The daylight of Day one is coming to a close and I have secured most of the operation areas for the day, but we're suddenly being attacked in Area ALASKA by a company sized Viet Cong unit. My LRRP unit operating in Cambodia has spotted some regular NVA and started to set IED's on the trails. Some great questions from audience and some great suggestions for additional play enhancements relating to the LRRP's!

The sixth session of A Week in Binh Long. The southern airfield in Area ALASKA was attacked, but the firepower of the United States saves the day. Day One day light nearly comes to a close. We ran into some Viet Cong not far from the LOUSIANA 5 Firebase, but they disappeared into the jungle again. Will the Firebase be attacked tonight? I'm not sure and am nervous with night about to fall. Unfortunately, I lost my slicks that were transporting my LRRP's, so will have to wait for some additional slicks for that special forces task.

Sunday stream day! I'll be streaming at 10AM Pacific for a couple hours. I will be continuing the A Week in Binh Long campaign. We will be doing the night turns and starting a new day with new missions. Exciting times to be had! I've also tweaked the files, which I will go over, to add some variety in Cambodia.

The seventh session of A Week in Binh Long. It was a night session, burning through night turns and building defences around the main cities. Some great questions by viewers, thank you for that. With some fantastic ideas. We ended up hitting the first turn of Day 2 and formulated some plans to figure out how we will tackle the day.

The eighth session of A Week in Binh Long. The start of Day 2 proceeds without too many hitches. I provide some excellent examples of how to use your Pink Teams (Loaches and Gunships). The 2d/2d Infantry has arrived on the map in the south and convoys are proceeding up Route 301 and QL13 towards Chon Thanh. Three new Areas to clear, one for each battalion but by the looks of things they won't be too complicated to secure. There is some serious helicopter management that is required though!

The ninth session of A Week in Binh Long. The first 10 turns are under the belt of Day 2. There is some exceptional progress, as 1st/16th has nearly finished clearing Area MISSOURI. 2d/2d Infantry is on the road heading towards Chon Thanh (Area ARIZONA) while 2d/28th Infantry is nearly completed its move into Area GEORGIA. Before I started today's session, I did over a scripting example for one of the TET DLC scenarios, to show the logic behind what a Viet Cong company will do as it starts the scenario!
