Campaign Series Vietnam - Scenario Question

[Jason Petho]

Good day.

While we continue to work on the game, a preliminary question to our potential customers.

What kind of scenarios or campaigns would you like to see included? What would you like to do? What would you like to see?

Thank you.

Hey Jason

That's a great Question!!

A campaign on the fighting around Kasan(sp) for sure. Maybe a few scenarios or a campaign on the TET offensive 1968. Need some late war scenarios too say after 1971-72 as the USA was pulling out.
I know little about it, but the French were also involved early on in Indochina late '50's early '60's I think? A couple of scenarios from that period would be a plus.

Thanks

operation lorraine
highlands stuff
hoa binh xom pheo tu vu
mobile group 100 might be interesting


then idk

xray
khe sanh
hue battle

and anything else i can get

[comte]

FSB Mary Ann, FSB Ripcord, Operation Starlite, Operation Hump battle of Hill 65

[carll11]

Ripcord would be a hoot to play. I assume you read Nolans book Ace?

Hamburger hill or Hill 937 to be exact;).....

Dak To

Dong Ha

Hue of course...

Khe Sanh Ivan;) Nice large map incl. the sppting FB's along route 1, Camp Carroll, Con Thien etc etc...

Oh and Lam Song 719..

French? The Defense of Na Son (PA8)...and great big beautiful Dien Bien Phu naturally, with all of the strong points PLUS extra beer rations for programming the French ( well, Germans)singing as they climb the slope to Elaine 2...



I cant imagine the team hasn't looked this over for inspiration-

Grab Their Belts to Fight Them: The Viet Cong's Big Unit-War Against the U.S., 1965-1966

[carll11]

Lang Vei and Ap Bia forget those, sorry

[carll11]

also, I'd just like to hear your ideas for how you'll balance VC/NVA movement and camouflage advantages, elite Sappers etc......just interested.

[BradK82]

Will tunnel complexes be represented in any form?

Yes. How is still up for discussion.

[Jason Petho]

All these are great, thank you everybody!

Add additional ones when you think of them!

Improved movement for VC/NVA will be incorporated.

As well as a commando style movement for special platoons.

[carll11]

TY!

[dsawan]

Khe sahn as a scenario and as a linked campaign and maybe what-if elements. Chinese intervention as a what-if and air cav(helo) scenarios with gunship support.

[Jason Petho]

Great ideas, dsawan!

thx jason. i had posted on your facebook page too on unit pics and tunes for the game. i know I may have asked it for Middle east but here goes again. Any chance on actual soldier pics and units black and white for the units like in campaign ww2. Also, folk music or tunes besides the main background music as in the ww2 one? Maybe 60's music as backfround, say Paint it black from the Stones and other groups from the 60's for us side. The VC and communists could have nationalistic tunes during scenarios. i would think the US side would rock.

Found some here: Communist side

I can find more if you need me to research

[dsawan]

can also find huey radio transmissions with some 60's music mixed in. these would work well with the air cav landings ina scneario.

here's one

As I mentioned in the Facebook message.

We probably will not include actual pictures of leaders, as many are still alive and there are legal ramifications of doing so. We include historical units though, including historical battles.

Of course, the leader BMP's will be fully moddable, so if you wanted to add them, you would be able to.

Same with the vehicle/other platoon BMP's. While the capabilities are there, we will not be including them in the official release due to copyright issues. One is still able to add their own image pictures though and they will eventually be available as an unofficial mod in the future.
