Vietnam Specific OOBs

Not sure, but I got up the energy to do the picklist for the Lao OOB (and added some new units to make it more functional), so I saw no reason not to release that as it was basically the same.

Still not sure about picklists for the USN, USAF, and MACV/SOG OOBs either. They really don't have enough units to make that work. The Lao OOB can basically stand on its own as Red now, from 1/46 until 5/75. At some point in the future I might fix it to then become the Communist Lao OOB from 6/75 until 12/120.

Just a little update on my actual situation, my laptop LCD is kaput and going back to Dell today. They say It'll be back in 8 working days, but we'll see heh.

So basically, work is stalled at this point because of physical hardware issues. However, I'd say its probably safe to expect something end of July-beginning of August.

A new version of the Vietnam Specific OOB Pack is available here. No longer includes the USA and USMC OOBs (Now in the Total Conversion Pack only), but does include a modified S. Korean OOB and a further revised Thai OOB.

Looks good in generally

... Hmm as I installed those Total Conversion Pack zips into game, Winzip showed that picklists were somehow "damaged" (or someting like that). Could you check them again? Otherwise all other files seem to work ok.

I'll check the file with the picklists. Thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: Try it again.

Hmm interesting. What I did wrong...

Anyway now it worked

!!!

Thanks! Keep up good work!

There is, however, a glaring error with the Philippine OOB. None of the costs were done (gross oversight on my part). I'll get a revised OOB in there as soon as I can.

Can you point me to a Vietnam era TO&E for the USMC?
Been searching the net for a while and no luck.

I actually haven't had much luck with the USMC in the way of TO&E information for infantry, armor, arty, and many support units. I was hoping I might be able to work with you on it for my pack actually hehe.

I've had the most luck adding things in my USMC OOB with regards to aircraft and helicopters. You'll notice in the change file for the USMC OOB, there are dramatically fewer changes then there are for the Army OOB.

Well I can give you bits and pieces but nothing comprehensive.
Part of the problem is there were several changes, experiments, and upgrades done during the 1962-1969 period. So although there was a paper TO&E (which is what I'm looking for) the TO&E actually used varied not only from year to year but in some cases from unit to unit. Given your project I suspect you're more interested in what was used as opposed to what was on paper.
