Vietnam for ARMG, DD

Vietnam Version 2b UPDATE: Version 5 with new map is up and ready here

Great Vietnam historical scenario 1963 - 1975. Countries: North and South Vietnam, US, USSR, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, China, North and South Korea. Green Berets, upgraded tanks, SALT Treaties. Awesome multiple-outcome very detailed scenario. Dedicated to Terry Tolliver.

Made for Armageddon v1.2 but should work for all. Unzip to Armaggedon or Doomsday or HOI2 folders. Minor changes were made to a few country, minister, leader and tech files. A few graphics and files were added. Also includes Korea. Scanned for virises. Download below.

You will need a time-limit fix for your version to go beyond 1964.

Enjoy!

After downloading the latest Vietnam files, I got the following:

HOI2: that it couldn't read or had a problem with vn_events.
HOI Doomsday , I selected South Vietnam and as soon it loaded I had already won the game.

Any solutions?

make sure the hoi2 patch is installed after a new install and you have at least hoi2 version 1.2

you may not have the time patch for DD loaded

Any solutions?

The lastest version 3.1 was uploaded today. Make sure the HOI2 or DD patch is loaded after everything else. The HOI2 patch uses the HOI2_vn_events and the DD patch replaces the original country file. Make sure you have the latest patches too.

Played for a couple minutes then the game ended because I didn't apply the no time limit patch. Will play completely tomorrow, looks well made from what I saw, I have been craving a Vietnam mod. Any plans to include 1960s technologies?

Shame about the small number of provinces, the ultimate Vietnam mod will be possible in HOI3.

On another note ,i'm glad you made Westmoreland a 1 skill general, his feeble leadership and backward vision is one of the main reasons why the US lost the war.

1. ARVN 9th cavalry is misspelled

2. Run out of metal and energy as US within 6 months - no trading options. Why should US have to trade to maintain the force presence in the area?

3. Ho Chi Minh gives motorized and artillery bonuses? Why? Recommend jungle move, attack and defense bonuses, infantry and militia bonuses for Giap and Uncle Ho

4. Sliders are movable, working as intended?

5. 1951 infantry, paratroopers and marines not researched, working as intended? I think the US would have researched to that level by the Korean war, 10 years prior.

6. Why do all of the US units start at half strength?

7. Entry of advisers into south vietnam enables reserves mission, is this supposed to be used somehow to help the ARVN? I'm pretty sure it only helps allies.

8. Perhaps should add a Hanoi capitulation event. I have held Hanoi for over a year and the Communists are invincible in Haiphong. I think realistically the PAVN would be unable to support 20 divisions with 1 IC and their capitol gone. Frankly, I can't do anything to win the scenario and that's why I quit.

9. The US can research every single land doctrine (with no one to research them properly, as no land doctrine researchers), working as intended?

10. Why do new naval units instantly spawn in the gulf of tonkin and out of supply? I would recommend spawning them in a harbor.

Well, tyrspawn, you said many important things I had also wanted to say :)
 
Thanks they are all good suggestions. Right now I'm working on a map for it with 25 additional provinces. Should be up soon. Then I will look into your suggestions.
