Description:

This is a small infantry faction made using SOG Prairie Fire and S&S assets. I really wanted to utilise the excellent Tiger Stripe & ARVN ERDL camouflage from S&S as it more accurately represents the uniforms worn by soldiers of the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting ARVN infantry. However i have added certain ‘fantasy’ elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear!

I have given the ARVN units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights. US Advisors have American voices.

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 ‘ARVN Vietnam’:

ARVN Rangers BDQ (1967)
– Several diffferent groups from squads and sniper teams to platoons in both ‘heavy’ (full packs) and ‘light’ (no backpacks)
– MACV advisors to ARVN Rangers
