RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 04-29-2024 Well I was able to share some items of good news and go over what I've been working on lately. Then we dove into the disaster of Hue. Depending on how you look at it, it's either good or bad. Well, who am I kidding, it's mostly bad for the ARVN. Yay for paper tigers! It is an interesting way to play the game though, HOTSEAT. I recommend it when you're looking for a different kind of challenge. I still prefer playing the Scripted AI or a human though! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 05-06-2024 We went over some new things and some other news and then tackled the Hue assault as best as we could. What an interesting fight. The ARVN are up to their usual antics and I presumed that the US Marines would fare better. We all know how it goes when I assume things! At least I didn't lose any helicopters. Disregard the fact that I don't have any. HA! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 05-13-2024 It was a good session! We went through the latest and greatest, mostly discussing the progress on the Iraqi's. What a fascinating process indeed! After that we discovered a bug with the 1.31 for Vietnam and rolled back a set before we continued on with Hue. It's been a lot of fun playing Hot Seat, but I can see how the NVA are just absolutely brutal to the poor ARVN, even the US Marines, but not as badly. Lessons learned all throughout indeed. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 05-20-2024 City fighting. Holy freakin' firetruck. Especially with ARVN troops. At least I have some ARVN parachutists, but wow, what a mess. We finished off the first Hue scenario and started scenario number 2 (Hot Seat). This one is pretty interesting, I'm liking how the scenarios from David are telling a story. There's a lot to script though for these scenarios, as there is a lot of units. This will be interesting to see how that will work out and keep the action where it is supposed to be. Good times, good times to be had! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 05-27-2024 There was quite a bit to cover on the Campaign Series ongoing work update, lots of goodies in the works. I'm beyond grateful we're still making progress! After that, we continued into the second Hue scenario and the ebb and flow of city combat. The Marines aren't faring very well, but we did managed to get some reinforcements. I did notice a landing zone was MIA, so will need to do some edits. It's easy to see why this battle lasted so many weeks, the urban fighting is brutal! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 06-03-2024 We started off with showing what I've been doing and asking for some feedback on some of those projects. Your feedback would be appreciated! After that we continued our advance into Hue with our poor ARVN parachutists. We are fighting block by block, winning some and losing some. It's still a hell of a lot of fun though! We have some US Marines arriving by helicopter, which I reminded views on the best practice for unsupported helicopter assaults. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 07-15-2024 Back to Hue! What a mess indeed. We covered the latest news about the current updates and what I've been working on and some thoughts and ideas about artillery. Feedback would be super! After that we went back into the city fighting in Hue. It didn't go as well for the ARVN as I had hoped. Not being in the groove for a month while we were in D-Day certainly had reared its ugly head, but it was fun nevertheless and we learned lots of valuable lessons for urban combat! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 07-22-2024 After going over the latest news on the UPDATES for CSME and CSVN we dived into some senseless violence. I playtested a FSB Ripcord scenario I had hidden away and was taught some valuable lessons in fighting in the mountains and jungle. Even my plethora of Cobra's couldn't save me. Well, that's only partially true. What a nail biter of a battle anyway! Then we started up the third installment of the Hue scenarios. More intense city street fighting and a massive counterattack by the NVA. Good times RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 07-29-2024 We went through the latest news about the UPDATES for CS Middle East and CS Vietnam and then talked about some interesting tidbits that I found while I have been working on the North Koreans for the 1.40 UPDATE to be released at the end of the year (ish). After we dove back into the Hue #3 scenario where we engaged in heavy city street combat. The battle itself has been going well, considering. Some flanking maneuvers were successful and we are in the final phases of assaulting well defended NVA bunkers. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 08-05-2024 I explained how to grab the Campaign Series Vietnam 1.31 UPDATE and explained some of the goodies included, we went over the North Koreans that I have been working on lately and then dove into a couple Hue scenarios. We finished off number 3, assaulting hard and trying to make progress on the last two positions we needed to take. It was bloody, but we were successful! Then we started on Hue number 4 and utilized some cavalry and gunships to advance from the northwest towards Hue. There was a lot of interaction today with brilliant questions and conversations! Such a good session! |
