While we won't be covering this in Campaign Series Vietnam (it is before our starting timeline of 1948), this is quite interesting!

British in Vietnam

No chance of covering the event in Malaya? It's the right era, though I'm not sure there were many battles of sufficient scale.

Malaya will be a DLC

that's good to hear thanks

Here is a year-by-year breakdown of the scenario counts thus far:

Several of those are tutorial scenarios, so really don't count.

Key:

[*]IC -- IndoChina, First Vietnam War, France vs. Vietnam, 1948-1954
[*]LA -- Laos "Secret War", 1960s & 1970s
[*]VN -- Vietnam Civil War 1955-1964; Vietnam War (commonly known as, period of American involvement), 1965-1972; NVA vs. ARVN, 1971-1975
[*]CA -- Cambodian Civil War 1973-1975; Cambodian-Vietnamese War, 1977-1979
[*]CH -- Sino-Vietnamese Border War, 1979

Scenarios up through 1967 are essentially all done. Work has resumed on the 1968 scenarios, also 1971. We definitely plan to cover the CH, but the CA is iffy.

Excluding Bootcamp tutorial scenarios, 122 scenarios, thus far, with many more on the way.
