Well, that's a big time "we". Andy Hershey, Peter Dahlin and Laurent Closier have done a wonderful job. I was offered to come in when things were well underway and contributed some designs, proofing and playtesting. As always, a bigtime collaborative effort. It's been a pleasure working within the team.
Totally agree on the team aspect, good playtesters/designers/developers are essential for top quality products, I know this one will be because of all who are involved.

I recall doing some preliminary HexDraw work on map layouts (from provided drawings), but I don't think much, if any, of my work made it past that stage. If the official geo-board count goes above 99, is it possible to use "lower case" numbers? 🤓
Switch to hexadecimal

What will the nationality colours be (apart from the French)? More two-tones?
My suggestion for the NVA would be for a green color which is a close match to their uniform color. I hope that the designing artists move away from the overuse (IMO) of the Russian brown/khaki.

I would hope that some PTO-style dirty tricks can be featured. Night, panjiis, DC heroes, tunnels etc. The Christmas Gifu from Op Watchtower, while itself an unbalanced scenario, had a great treatment of HIP, pillboxes and tunnels.

That wasn't just a hallmark of the American phase of the war, very, very present in the French Indo-China War also. So yeah, it's in there.

Operation Lea in October 1947 would make an interesting scenario pack. Two opposed airdrops - Bac Kan (to capture the Viet Minh political leadership) and Cao Bang. Big Riverine ambushes sinking several French craft, large Viet Minh night attack at Cho Moi...

The death of 1BEP in the Route Coloniale 4 battles. The Vinh Yen battles where Giap overextended....How Binh in 1951.

Basically anything but Dien Bien Phu which everyone knows.... l want to be educated.

I am looking forward to this module, as well as the Spanish Civil War module

I would like to see the Middle East 1950 module, but that part of the world will never cease fighting, so that is probably not going to see a release
