RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 10-20-2025 Well that was a good session today. Lots of chatting and talking about how things are progressing and lots of good conversation. We went over the latest news about the pending CS Vietnam 2.10 and CS Middle East 3.10 BETA UPDATES before we returned the bloody mess of the Five Fills. We are playing through the Dien Bien Phu scenarios in order that were designed by David Galster. The fighting was brutal today, senseless violence on so many levels. But we are making some slow progress, even though there were a number of failed assaults. I'm glad it is night, as the French artillery is devastating! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 11-03-2025 I'm back in action and we went over the latest news in regards to the Campaign Series games. I showed off the latest goodies for Cold War and then discusses some new additions to the new CS Vietnam and CS Middle East BETA's, with the official versions slated to release on November 19th. After all that we dove back into the Dien Bien Phu series of scenarios and tried to make some progress. It's a bloody affair and we're slowly running out of darkness, but so far we're in an excellent position to deal with any French counterattacks. We have a plan to try to flank the positions, but alas, I'm not sure we'll make it by daylight! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 11-10-2025 Here we are getting closer to the official release of the Vietnam and Middle East 2.10 and 3.10 UPDATES for the latest Campaign Series games. We went over the latest news about the Campaign Series games, including where to add your future wishes about the World War 2 game after Cold War. Then we dove back into the madness at Dien Bien Phu and did our best to consolidate our Viet Minh while we are probing and taking out key positions inside the massive fortifications. It's a challenge and a half and the losses are brutal - although evenly matched. Day has broken and the destruction is becoming significantly worse, but we are getting some good kills in! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 11-17-2025 We continued to push into the position of the Five Hills. It was a rough go though, let me tell you. Our progress was slow, but we managed to break into the lines and takes out some artillery. That was a glorious moment! We also had a lot of random conversation about the coming Cold War game, thank you to those that participated in that, it really does help. We talked about potential scenario ideas and decades that people are looking forward to playing. After scenario 6, we started up number 7, where we are assaulting another French position. We don't have as many goodies this time, and a lot of less time - so it will be a heck of a challenge. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 12-01-2025 We went over all the new goodies coming for the future Cold War game and then dove into the latest Dien Bien Phu scenario. This is a nail biter indeed and the amount of Viet Minh that are falling is horrendous. It's slow and tedious, but there's a time limit so we have to be extremely aggressive and soak up the hail of French bullets attempting to dissuade us from doing so. A few positions have fallen, but we're still well below a Major Defeat threshold. Exciting times, albeit bloody - very bloody. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 12-08-2025 We started off the session with a major defeat as the Viet Minh in the Huguette 1 scenario of Dien Bien Phu but finished off with a major victory by the end of it after a lot of bloody fighting. After wrapping up the last few turns of that, we dove into Huguette 2 scenario where it seems we are fighting over the same ground, but against an aggressive French adversary. This is making the fight a little more interesting! It's still bloody though, I'm suffering a wackload of casualties as I advance into the French fire, where every move feels like it brings death and destruction. Courte vie à la France! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube - Jason Petho - 12-15-2025 What a mess. I have never seen so many casualties during the opportunity fire phases and assault phases. I guess I was thinking I was in a better position than I was in this scenario. The French had some scripting in this scenario, which was easy to tell as they were heavily defending a northern objective. My assaults seem to be for naught, although I did manage to destroy a number of French 105mm guns. Every little bit helps in the chaos of the assault! |
