I’m back. My brother is doing well, better than expected actually

@irredeemable What? What kind of game is that? Totally intrigued. Will you do a battle report.

Brilliant work on the joker! Looks more finished than started. 🙂

@oriskany Great intro to the Vietnam War. Blown away that South Korea contributed 300,000 troops. Never heard that before. How were they deployed? In large national formations, or as a backbone for ARVN forces?

Haven’t visited my Vietnam SPMBT Vietnam campaign for a while, but may rethink some of my battlegroup forces. Thus far I’ve gone with three airmobile companies with gobs of fire support and LRRP recon, and a mech company, also supported with all kinds of Gucci atts and dets. It was never enough to hold everything as I went hopping from objective to objective, nor was it enough to cover everything on the defensive, so I may try to add some ‘cheap’ troops to the mix, but only to consolidate objectives that have already been carpet bombed and cleared by the airmobile companies.

On the defensive I would use said troops as shock absorbers, to let me know where the schwerpunkt is, and to delay (while becoming completely unglued of course) until heliborne regulars arrive. Did you ever get to play the campaign I set up for you?

Another great Vietnam set:
