Vietnam Specific OOBs

[thatguy96]

That might be something to investigate. Technically the so-called Free World Armed Forces in Vietnam included:

The United States
Australia
South Korea
The Philippines
Republic of China (Taiwan)
Thailand

I just don't have all that much information on the Philippines or the ROC contributions beyond what's in the CMH monograph: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/Vietnam/allied/

Laurent Touchard's conversion had a Philippine OOB and an updated ROC one IIRC, and I might see how much I can take from there. The ROC one could easily be modified and added to the standard pack, the Philippine one would require a totally new OOB and be more suited to the planned Total Conversion, along, hopefully, with some sort of Lao OOB (again I just don't personally have the info at my disposal right now).

[thatguy96]

Alright, so I figured I'd mention it here too. The total conversion now has a pretty basic Philippine OOB (then again the force they sent was pretty basic), and a more or less complete Lao OOB.

Currently features in the Total Conversion (including those updated from the basic pack):

Army of the Republic of Vietnam
Australia
Cambodia
France
Laos (Royal Lao Government and Neutralists)
MACV/CIA/Etc
People's Army of Vietnam
Philippines
South Korea
Thailand
US Air Force
US Army
US Marine Corp
US Navy
Viet Cong

For those of you who are interested, I've just released an Alpha of the Total Conversion here: http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/wins...ack-alpha.html

I played couple of battles and I'm impressed how good you got Laurent's stuff (well at least part of it) to work in WinMBT too. Not any bad errors (well, I'm not checked all oob's than USMC/US Army and VC yet). Hmm was M60 Patton really used in Vietnam? Or just "here and there" (small amounts)? I remember that M48 and Bulldog were most used tanks there...

[thatguy96]

The tank history might have to be reworked a little. I haven't done much on it, and what I have done was more in the USMC OOB.

Note that the M60A1 was first introduced into the US Army in the early 1960s, but you are correct in that none were actually deployed to South East Asia. IIRC, they were all deployed to Europe to help counter the threat of Soviet Armor, while the armor threat in South East Asia required far less attention.

[thatguy96]

Fixed the link. Should be working now. The forums that I posted it on have moved twice heh.
