Useful links...
 
Some links I have used for the Viet War Pack :

Maps of Vietnam
Vietnam era helicopters
Sitrep and AAR, may be useful as briefieng model
US Army Helicopter Weapon Systems
Air Mobility 1961-1971
Field Artillery 1954-1973

I have also in PDF (From original documents) :
Vietnam Area Handbook
NVA Infantry Tactics
PLAF/PLAVN Tactics, small Unit Operations
PLAF/PLAVN Reconnaissance Tactics and Techniques
PAVN Artillery (Rocket Units)
The impact of the sapper on the Viet-Nam War
The PLAF/PAVN sapper units
VC Infantry Company Tactics

And I can search in a lot of books for specific questions (Osprey...)

I'll tell you what I'm after:

A lay out of the "Golf Course"/An khe/An Tuc/Camp radclif or any other name the place is called. I've managed to find one map of the area, but it's just too small a scale to effectivly use.

Thanks, I've found some.. but they're no good. One thing I might try is to get a freind to check out the GPS locations with Google Earth. That might provide some clues.

With the links for the VWP, I've found this for tactical maps :
Camp Radcliff West Topo Map
Camp Radcliff and Eastern Vinicity
The An Khe Map

For larger view :
Golf Course is located in the North West corner of the map
Golf Course is located in the North East corner of the map

And :
Pics of Camp Radcliff in 1970
Hon Kong Mountain near "Golf Course"


I hope it will help ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You found almost exactly the same stuff as I did! From the Same sites.

Lets see what Google Earth brings up...

Edit: just got the piccys back from my freind, and although he didn't zoom in enougth, there is something still there... Even if it's just a layout of the roads. Something which I can feed into Hexgrid.

Unfortanly the Hon Cong mountin is just a lump of tree's.

Good luck with Google Earth !

Faliure! It's not been photo graphed at high resolution. the one I've got is the best it gets, and it's almost the same altitude as the topo maps.

This link is awesome! It might not have photo's of terrain BUT it has Topo's of the whole AO. We should have no problems with accurately reflecting town/village names and base terrain features.
