Cambodia – Vietnam War
This is a very small infantry faction made using SOG Prairie Fire, US General Equipment & Accessories, SOG Nickel Steel, Laffing Lizard in the Bush and S&S assets. I have tried to base the faction addon on research of Cambodia forces using photographs from reference books. The faction depicts the post Sihanouk FANK era of Lon Nol from 1970-75. Therefore units are mostly armed with US weapons and furnished with US gear but there remains some eastern bloc equipment in use as a hangover from the FARK (1963-70) days.
I have given the units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights.
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. 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 ‘Cambodia – Vietnam War’:
INFANTRY
FANK Infantry (1971) – Platoon, Squads 1 & 2, Sniper Team, Demolitions Team, HQ Group
FANK Battalion Para Commandos (1972) – Platoon, Squads 1 & 2, Sniper Team, Demolitions Team
SPEC OPS
Khmer Special Forces (1971) – Squads 1 & 2, Stealth Team, Demolitions Team, Sniper Team
US MEDT Advisors (1971) – US MEDT Advisory Field Team
*There are also some unarmed units for each element for immersion/artwork purposes
