Well, I hope I'm not emberassing myself here, but I used the topomaps from the web to recreate the Ia-Drang area of 1st cav. circa 1965. It's as close to the history as I could get with my artistic freehand.

You will need Don's alternate symbol set (DASS) to use this map.
Be warned, it's pretty intensive on the sightings phases due to all the abrupt terrain. But I hope it lives up to player's expectations.

Now, if we could only get some NVA units... heheh

Comments and Criticism welcome, this is really a experiment I hope turned out well.

I enclosed a BMP file for scenario creators wanting to keep to the spirit of that era... hope you like it!

Well done T :thumup:


I’ve not come up with anything good enough to post as yet, but I’m still working on it.

Just to give members who are not familiar with the action, here is a link to a nice little set of animations.

It's better if you post this in the map/scenario archive.
