The NVA/VC even infiltrate the souths regions, with non-existent units to lure the FWA to commit units too S&D missions against ghost units. Good God I never realised till now this game is made for the AGE game engine - POCUS you really should look into this it was a brilliant game, years ahead of its time, there are really only two sides (different elements/factions of the same two sides NVA/VC, US/ARVN/FWA) but with it being set in Indochina that should generate some interest at home (I believe you are French?) Sorry this isnt the thread for this but I moght look into it some more and post my conclusions somewhere else - Its kinda amazing you start off just mentioning something and then wham - this game was made to be converted to the AGE engine. Cheers - Yee Haa
