My thoughts on the game thus far

It is 1965 and the US ground war in Vietnam is in full swing. As a US Army commander, wage a counter-insurgency (COIN) war to secure the Ia Drang valley, on the border with Cambodia.

New build loaded with chinook fix etc. 1st game and chinook won't load troops or howitzer. It just comes up with select unit but then won't actually allow you to select.

Hi, very interesting game. I am wondering though whether the team has any Vietnamese-speakers to access Vietnamese language sources? The reason I ask is that Hearts and Minds warfare is by its nature asymetrical. What the US viewpoint considers critical factors in winning the support of foreign nationals, particularly where the cultures are dissimilar, may not be what their opponents consider important.

Thanks for the feedback :)

I totally agree with your point, the asymmetry of the war is on many levels, the game however is player from the side of the U.S./ARVN forces so focussing on that perspective, would be a great game playing the other way round :)
