Description:

This is a small infantry config faction (with a ridiculous number of infantry groups) made using SOG Prairie Fire DLC, Laws of War DLC & S&S assets. I really wanted to utilise the excellent range of US Army uniforms from S&S which accurately depict US forces during the conflict in South East Asia. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting US Army units from the later phases of the Vietnam War. However i have added certain ‘fantasy’ elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear! Laws of War DLC is required because i needed to use headsets for Pathfinder units. I also used this DLC for bandaged heads on wounded units. Might be of interest to artwork makers.

I used ALIVE’s ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units’ loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don’t know how to get around this i’m afraid despite the fact that i have tried but just cannot understand coding that well. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc.

You’ll find the following groups in the mod under ‘US Army Vietnam – War’:
