ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 Thinking of buying a Vietnam title. Which is the better title, anyone have an opinion? ToD or Vietnam? I play mainly against the AI or against myself, if that makes any difference, which I doubt. Thanks for the help, in advance! RE: ToD or Vietnam? - Embis - 02-01-2022 This probably warrants being one of the FAQ's here, take a look at this thread, its not the only one on the topic. https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=72061&highlight=vietnam RE: ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 Good thread, Embis. Thanks! RE: ToD or Vietnam? - Sean - 02-01-2022 If you buy Vietnam then you can play 'Red Star Over Europe' Mod as well which is a great bonus, Gameplay video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX5Mx-H_ki8&ab_channel=SmartWargames I bought Vietnam Over TOD when I was faced with the same query -mostly prefer games that have Mods available. edit ,there is a recent thread that says Mod works for both games- https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=75124 Also have a look at the new Campaign Series Vietnam as well ,have not bought it yet but it is on my wishlist - looks like fun. Videos here- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7giuNkAWq3wRz13dubeX-g/videos RE: ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 Thanks. Yes. I got CSV. It's really beautiful, nicely done. I like the 40m scale though, for this kind of thing. CSV has 250m hexes. I got ToD, in the end. Looks great, though even with the slopes mod installed I cannot discern the contours in the jungle maps. Will check out the mods. Thanks. RE: ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 I can't find the Red Star over Europe mod on TFE4. Anyone know where it is now? Thanks.

Yeah its a big site, a bit difficult to navigate and in serious need of some updating but you can get it from here: RSoE Pretty much any mod will work in any game. So grab a bundle :) RE: ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 Excellent. Thanks, Embis. RE: ToD or Vietnam? - Xerxes77 - 02-01-2022 (02-01-2022, 05:26 PM)phoenix Wrote: Thanks. Yes. I got CSV.

Yes, the jungle graphics are great and look appropriately dense but they kill the underlying terrain. I had to crop them a bit in Grenada to make sense of the contours. RE: ToD or Vietnam? - phoenix - 02-01-2022 But can anyone advise me as to how to install the Red Star over Europe mod, please? The installer is an exec that sets up a brand new folder called Red Star over Europe, but there's no game exec in there, no engine. How am I meant to link it to my Vietnam install? Sorry to be so stupid, but there's no install instructions with the download. Thanks. |
