40-page book covering Tropic Lightning: Armoured and Airborne Combat in Vietnam 1965-1971. Adding tanks, armoured cavalry and mechanised infantry for the Americans and some more heavy weapons and RPG-7 rocket launchers for the Vietnamese and two new missions.
Tropic Lightning allows you to refight the big battles of the war in Vietnam. Not little skirmishes, but the major battles where both sides strove to the utmost to inflict a serious defeat on the enemy and win the war.
The war in Vietnam was unlike anything the US Army had prepared for. The enemy were lightly-equipped infantrymen
using guerilla tactics in a land full of mountains, jungles, paddy fields and river deltas. The US Army was equipped to fight a nuclear war in Europe with heavy tanks, armoured infantry, helicopter gunships, and lots of firepower.
The resulting clash stretched both sides to the limit. American firepower and mobility gave them a decisive advantage once they located the enemy. Therein lay the problem, locating the enemy. The Vietnamese guerillas could often choose where and when to fight, but faced an up hill battle to inflict a serious defeat on the American forces and suffered heavy casualties with every attempt.
Pit your cunning against overwhelming firepower. Fight smart to bring your firepower to bear and avoid being overrun. Search for the enemy in the jungles and paddies. Find them and destroy them.
