But what concerns me is that with the news footage I've watched from the actual events I've seen essentially zero indication that the NVA had RPGs, mortars, AT-guns, or even HMGs (12/14mm). The apparent lack of such rather significantly changes the dynamics of battle. We've all seen the footage of an Ontos merrily blasting the NVA out of their positions with nothing but small arms in reply, this makes for a rather boring and one-sided scenario.

My attempts to replicate the ambush of USMC Co A's arrival on trucks via Highway 1 have led to a slaughter because of the way WinSPMBT deals with troops mounted in vehicles. I'm currently thinking of increasing the "Survivability" rating of the trucks to deal with this.

Admittedly all these "issues" exist primarily in my own head, but hey, we are what we are
