Status: offline 		I released a scenario for the entire Vietnam War for a computer game some of you may have heard of 'TOAW'.

The scenario is called 'Boonie Rats' and I released it in 2003.

http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenarii/the-operational-art-of-war-scenario-490-Boonie-Rats

At some point all the research that went into that scenario will produce a wealth of scenarios for Flashpoint Campaigns.

Good Hunting.

Yes, of course.

Just as there are India/Pakistan, Falkland Islands, Arab - Israeli Wars, WWII, Formosa/China, Korea past/present/future...etc...

We are looking at a lot of different times and theaters for the series. That's not something we have kept a secret. All things in it's time.

Good Hunting.

As much as I love FPC and Reforged, I would very much like to see a shift to a new battlefield of sorts. Vietnam is definitely something that I would be interested in seeing.

Status: offline 		It's not as simple as just moving to a new spot and time frame.

The series would need to be broken into a small arms version and keep the versions for modern warfare we currently have.

The reason I say small arms and not say WWII is because the Vietnam War is , first and foremost, an infantry war and not a tank fight.

That requires a different scale. One that will probably include WWII versions of tanks as well. Not sure where the cut off will end up being but it will have to have the hex scale dropped down to at least 250 meters per hex.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it......

Good Hunting.
