Status: offline 		You'll notice the location of the Landing Zones (labelled LZ on the maps), that was the historical landing zone for the ARVN 1st battalion, 11th Regiment after the battle had been underway for awhile. The ARVN 2nd Battalion landed further to the north of the screenshot. The ARVN 8th Para's were dropped 3 hexes to the northwest of the shown landing zone. Both landing received heavy fire during their landings - by helicopter for the 1st, by parachute by the para's. If you play with historical landing zones on, you'll have to attempt to land in the same location. If not, you'll be free to land where you wish.

Status: offline 		Did you know there was a second battle of Ap Bac on May 2, 1967? Two battalions of the 2nd Infantry Brigade (Riverine), in their first major engagement of the 2nd Brigade, nearly wiped out the D514 VC Main Force battalion. While not a complete walkover, it went significantly better than the 1963 battle. You will also be able to play the 1967 battle in the game.

Status: offline 		For the Ap Bac 1963 scenario, here is the starting position for the ARVN/2nd battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment at the Tan Heip airfield. There was only ten H-21's to lift the battalion, so had to be completed in company sized lifts.

Note the 5 gunships from the UTT Company.

Status: offline 		Very Nice - cant wait to play with it :)
one question....
Is it now possible to have "seperate" playfields for ground and Air units ?
as example, one side ground units dont interfer with the other side air crafts - or to more in detail, one side low high fly aircraft dont interfere with other side high fly aircraft ? [except the one is attacking the other - but from the point of movement ...]
if i remember, this was one of the problems in JTCS with ground/aircrafts to handle all "the same" ....
(and would be an question too for submarines, as submerged submarines should not interfere with see units on the surface ...)

Regards

Status: offline 		Helicopters and on-map aircraft (most airstrikes are still handled Off map) now operate in 4 different flight zones; on the ground, Nap of the earth, Low and High. Each of these have advantages and disadvantages of being in.

Helicopters can overfly everything, they will risk being shot at, of course.

Helicopters cannot land on an occupied hex.

We're aiming for a large scenario pack for the 1.00 release, which should provide hundreds of hours of play.

It's variable, depending on the scenario.

Status: offline 		Thanks for your feedback. There's been a lot of effort put to 2D maps again, to make them another step forward from the ones in Middle East 2.0. Adding shadows to them to make them a tad more three dimensional, for one

Can't wait to see what that will look like down the road in EFIII.

Man that's Good Stuff!

For Saigon, there are a number of additional reference maps that I am using to fill in the details

They are found here: Additional Maps

Status: offline 		Campaign Series Vietnam: ALPHA graphics. I've renamed the Kontum master map to NW II Corps as I have expanded the size to the south to encompass the Ia Drang campaign area. In the screenshot, you'll see the pre-vegetation mountainous terrain that one will have to deal with south of Dak To.

The map covers quite a large area (as it goes north to Dak To) and will be used for a number of scenarios of various battles that took place in the area in 1965.

With the scenarios so equipped, you will be able to use "Daisycutters" or certain engineers will have jungle clearing capabilities.
