The Russian migs were bit too good, so I gave them the Chinese versions. It was a ma*sive pain in the bottom for the F-4 when it was introduced and it will the same here too □ The jewel of the North Vietnamese air-force has to be the Mig-21. They also had Mig-19s which I have added. I added the helicopter I found in Battlefield Vietnam.Įarly in the war they had Mig-17s which weren’t much good against American F-4s, but these do not exist in-game. Some recoilless rifle mounted jeeps for more ambushes… (Should I add a card of Type 59s, to make it more balanced.?) PT-76 is also amphibious so it can be used to make some nasty surprise attacks □ They did have tanks like T-34-85, Type 59s, T-54s, PT-76s etc etc.but nowhere near as much as the Americans, so I have just given them T-34s and PT-76s. The difficult terrain, and American airpower rendered tank offensives useless. The Vietnam war wasn’t know for its tank battles. If used properly the SAMs will alone decimate enemy aircraft. They have quite good missile AA, but not as good AA guns. I’ve also given them lots of shoulder launched AA to act as a counter to the American helicopters. Deck Code : comes in trucks and BTR-60Ps, pretty standard stuff. Most of their hardware is supplied bu the erstwhile USSR, and China and their allies as reflected in the deck. They are an infantry heavy force since tanks and other heavy equipment are very difficult to move around and use effectively in forests. I won’t bore you with any history or context behind the Vietnamese guerrillas and the North Vietnamese army. There’s also lots of helicopters, and napalm in keeping with the pop culture depictions of the war.Īnyways, have fun playing with these decks. I have tried to keep the units as historically accurate as possible, and have searched a myriad of sources. I just happen to love the game, and reading some history. I am by no means a qualified historian, nor am I a pro at Wargame Red Dragon. I just completed binging on some Rambo films a few days back, and decided to share with you all my interpretation of what a Vietnam War themed deck would be like. Some decks representing the Viet cong+NVA and the US Forces in the Vietnam War.
