Thank Andy Hershey- it's his fault- he didn't warn me how much work a Ph.D. can actually be.
Let me see if we can't get you added
Downloaded them and will enjoy reading them - thank you.
I think that French vs Viet Minh is not out of reach for ASL currently. I think early ARVN vs VC cadre is not out of reach currently either. I'd probably draw a requirement line for new SWs and Guns and AFVs and many new rules and combat results tables requirements, somewhere around 1965 or so, more or less.
Thanks for this!
yeah IFT and TK table results and DRMs would need revamping at some point as you go into the 1960's, to accommodate things like selective fire weapons, beehive MA rounds, Fletchette- armed aerial bombs and artillery shells, daisy cutter fuzes in aerial bombs, laser rangefinding, IR rangefinding, laser personal weapon sighting, the widespread issuance of body armor, etc.
DC Conscripts have some Viet Minh scenarios in their issues of Red Banners.
Hah! I like to imagine the time scale is a little "fluid" or at least longer than originally stated. Seems to make a lot more sense for most actions.
CH's Dien Bien Phu has been a lot of fun thus far. Doesn't feel like much of a stretch. Only bit I found interesting is they "dumbed-down" the BAZ a bit in the hands of the VM to more accurately replicate the effectiveness of them against the French M24s. A bit of a system change there. Although not unlike what MMP did with the HEAT rules in Korea.
