Campaign Series Vietnam

[Jason Petho]

It won't be able to be on YouTube, those will be different videos.

BUT, you can still watch the live streams after the fact on Twitch.

Never having used Twitch I never realised that 

Thanks Jason. O0

I did another live session tonight, this time it recorded.

Here is the link for YouTube :

About halfway through the You Tube presentation so far Jason, and you guys have really nailed the atmosphere of the Vietnam conflicts. I think that has struck me most along with the implementation of the new visibility rules.


I particularly love the scenario briefings and the necessity of reading them carefully to work out the objectives as a mission commander would have had to do ....rather than a simple " take the two starred VP hexes to win" that so many games are content with.


Aside from the early "Twitch glitch"  :)  your presentation was flawless and I look forward to more content including the boot camp tutorials .

Cheers

Thank you so much! 

Certainly so much more to think about now with the Campaign Series.

Apologies about the "Twitch" issue... I tried to make fun of it with the cheesy music.. ha!

I did another live session, playing a couple scenarios by request, dealing with the French in Indochina

In other news, I started a new During Action Report on the AAR section, have a look: http://www.grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=26154.msg702387#msg702387

My first PBEM battle against a human controlled US player. Wish me luck! That said, let us see if all the experience I gained from programming the Lua side for the French Indochina War scenarios by David Galster and then the Vietnamese Civil War scenario playtests taught me anythings.

Graduation, or death? 

Scenario played is the Battle of Landing Zone Albany, November 1965

Looks like Hal Moore kneeling down?

The LZ Albany Battle followed by two days the earlier Battle of LZ XRay, showcased in the movie We Were Soldiers.  At LZ Albany (not depicted in the movie, but covered in the book by the same name), Col. Moore and his 1st/7th Cavalry had already left the scene.  (Spoiler Alert: At LZ Albany, the 2nd/7th Cavalry did not fare so well.)

Release of the year for me and the upcoming expansions just add to the appeal.

That picture above looks like Colonel Hal Moore especially the watch on
The left hand and profile.

The US Army does not credit that photo as picturing Hal Moore. The official caption states that it is Maj Bruce P. Crandall's UH-1D discharging infantry on a search and destroy operation.
