RE: Ahistorical OOBs in HPS SBs
What "We Were Soldiers" painted was an awful movie. As in Lone Wolf McQuade awful or "Wow, I cant believe people actually got paid for this". The book it was adapted from, We were soldiers once.. and young, while it was a hard read was much better.
I'm not going to venture into the how and why some of us Americans have or had difficulty with the Vietnam War other than to mention that to those of us who were alive then (I was thirteen in 1968) it was a confusing and trying time. For those who served during that time I can not speak at all since I am not qualified.
I do think this game is accurate if not in actual units by name involved than in force makeup for each side. There are many people here on this site who have been around these games a lot longer than I who I'm sure can attest to that. This includes some who have done the research and contributed to, or written many of the scenarios as I understand it.
And that my friend is plenty out of me..........
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
