Scenario preview: Vietnam War

[AK47]

hmm, maybe it's just me, but I'm worried it won't be as good as it could be, if it's almost ready in such a short time

and no, I don't think an air unit can intercept twice. But try giving it movement 2 instead of 1 and blitz ? If that doesn't work, I think nothing will.

Maybe you have right, I think it's 50 per cent instead.I have to add the units, fix the scenario properties, test it and...........any more???

If it is, please tell me what.

AK47, you don't know any start month for war.It's start in ? of ? 1964.

 

[AK47]

several options:

1/ July 1954, with the Geneva Conference, dividing Vietnam "temporarily" in North and South. (in preparation of elections in 1956 that never happened). This is basically when the guerilla action in the South, sponsored by the North, started.

2/ July 1964, when the US sent as many as 5000 additional "military advisors" to support the South Vietnamese government.

3/ March 1965, when the first 3.500 US "official" combat troops arrived in Da Nang.

BTW - when the "beta" is ready, I'm willing to test and advise...

Yep, a mean dude, apparently.
I was actually living in Cambodia when he died in 1998

Oh, thank you AK47. Thanks for the support.I can mail the "Beta" too you.Is it ok.

 

[AK47]

that map you're using looks very good, and pretty damn accurate.
However, now there is Conquests, there should definitely be added some marshes to the map (eg. the Mekong Delta south of Saigon)

I've been checking a little and actually, this scenario would have enormous possibilities in terms of multiple Unique Units. I think this could generate some very interesting gameplay.

Here's a list of the most important units I found. I'll update it from time to time with links of existing units that could be used etc.


US
UH-1 Huey, troop transport helicopter A
AH-1 Cobra, attack chopper A !, (B)
B52, bomber A !
(Napalm bomber) A
F-4 Phantom, fighter-bomber A !
F100 Super Sabre, fighter-bomber A !
M48 Patton, tank A !
M113, APC A !
M101, 105mm towed howitzer A
M107, howizer (tank) A
M60, heavy machinegun A
Marine A
Green Beret / Special Ops A, B
M41, light tank (vietnamese, american-made) A, B,
Vietnamese Infantry (use the standard infantry ?)



NVA
MiG-21, fighter A !
T34 & T54/T55, tanks (russian-made) A, B, C, D, E
PT-76, tank (chinese-made) A
DP7.62, light machinegun
K-63, APC (chinese-made) A
BTR , APC (Russian-made) A, B

the junk, transport A, B
NVA infantry A !
Vietcong A !

use the standard guerilla

 

[Luddi VII]

Wow I didn't know it was so many units I could use.Thank you AK47.

 

[Luddi VII]

I forgot to ask for a thing.Could you please write the name the units have been made by.(Example: Vietconq by Sween 32)

Thank you.

 

[AK47]

euh, nope.

I'm not saying all these units exist. I'm saying that these are the units that SHOULD be in a good Vietnam scenario. And I'm going to add links to units that you could use/rename for this scenario.
Check it out: I already put some links (A, B, C...). You can later decide which unit to use and you can see for yourself who made the unit.


AK.

 

[AK47]

well, I think I'm done with the units list.
For each unit, I either found the exact unit, or something else that can be used as. Check 'em out.
Only for the NVA light machine gun, I couldn't find anything, but I suppose you can use the American one as well, but just give it a lighter sound etc.

Ta.
AK.

 

[AK47]

I think the "stealth attack" and "air defense" options, available in Conquests only are really absolutely necessary for this scenario, and trying to make it for PTW as well, doesn't make a lot of sense, IMHO.

AK.

 

[Bobisback]

sounds cool

 

[Luddi VII]

I have decided to use ALL the units you have listed with links.You have helped me a lot.Thanks AK47.
If it is more you can help me with, I would be very grateful.

 

[AK47]

No problem.
Did you also check out 10seven's suggestion earlier ?
I like the map you're using a lot better, but he seems much more advanced with the units etc.

AK.

I've been working on this scenario for a while now - check out the link.

Most of the work is done - just some cheese and mechanics to go - testing out the behaviour of guerilla units, versus armour, especially, and Civ interelations.

You might want to develop your own - but, if you're of a mind, you could mail me...

I know I'm a little bit late to answer, but I've heard you are very advanced with the units.I have some problems with adding the units in my scenario.You don't have some solutions to what I can do with it.

 

[Ukraineboy]

I suggest you take the Guerilla and add the Straw hat to it... and black pajamas. And since its using an AK47 it'll look realistic.

 

[10Seven]

What problems are you having with adding units?

 

[Luddi VII]

It comes a load error when I start the game.And I have checked that the scenario folder stands in the scenario search folder.It comes a load error there it stands: Load Error File not found ..\Art\Units\North Vietnamese Infantry\..\InfantryDeath.I have pasted all the waw files from the Infantry folder into the NVA Infantry folder. And when I'm fix this problem, I'm sure it comes a new Load Error message.
