Campaign Series Vietnam - YouTube

After we went over the latest and greatest news about the Campaign Series, we decided to start up playing the Dien Bien Phu scenarios in order that were created by David Galster. This should be fun as I haven't played most of them yet. More importantly, many of the scenarios are designed to be played from the Viet Minh perspective. Hopefully I will be able to provide some intel on how to play the Viet Minh and later Viet Cong more effectively. It should be a challenge indeed, but a fun one! We finish off the first landing scenario and then start up scenario number two as the Viet Minh where we are preparing for a frontal assault against the well defended French position - Beatrice.

There was lots of awesome discussion today during the feed, thank you for those that participate in that! We went over the latest news about the Cold War game and the pending JTCS BETA UPDATE. Then we dove back into the second scenario in the Dien Bien Phu series of scenarios. We spent the first part preparing for the assault, and suffering casualties in the meantime, but now that darkness has arrived, we're in the thick of the action. The major challenge here, even though the French are isolated, they still pack a punch and we're suffering for it. The artillery wasn't nearly as effective as I had hoped for the previous turns, and we are starting the up close and personal assault phase. For better or worse.

We started off by going through a series of questions that were on Discord. Most of the questions were related to combat and assaulting and hopefully provided enough detail to answer them. Thank you for the questions, I hope the responses helped! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. You can post them on discord, down below here. After that we took some of what we went through and returned to the Beatrice fort of Dien Bien Phu and have started the assault. We have managed to secure some positions, but the losses are heavy. This is also a good learning scenario for how to assault and minimize casualties - which I need to learn. Ha!

We started off with some new features that are going to be included in the fall updates for Campaign Series Vietnam and Campaign Series Middle East. Then a quick brain dump scenario overview for future Cold War scenarios, where I ask for some input. Then we returned to the Dien Bien Phu Beatrice scenario that resulted in a minor Loss for our Viet Minh troops. It was a messy scenario as we attempted to assault the position. We did manage to get into the position and secure two of the objectives, but the last was out of reach and the losses were utterly brutal. After we fired up Dien Bien Phu number three to see what we're facing... which will be equally as ugly!

We discussed some updated features for the future CS Middle East 3.10 and CS Vietnam 2.10 UPDATES that will come later in the fall and plans going forward. There was also a brief update on the JTCS 2.05 UPDATE. Then we dove into the third installment of the Dien Bien Phu series of scenarios. Today was an excellent overview about assaulting. There was some steady and good progress with this scenario and Gabrielle is slowly coming under our control. I tried to show the most efficient way to assault - in this situation. If you want to learn how and things to think about when assaulting, this is the video!

That was an exciting session! I had planned on showing you some new goodies for 2.10 and 3.10 for Vietnam and Middle East, but "there will be bugs". Instead I gave an overview about what is coming with JTCS and the new updates as well as information on the latest Cold War news. After that we wrapped up the last of Dien Bien Phu 3, showing how to really effectively use assaults. In Dien Bien Phu 4, we advanced toward Isabelle to make sure our Main Supply Route was resecured and then we started up Dien Bien Phu 5 which has our French troops performing a raid into the Viet Minh lines to destroy anti-aircraft guns. Things are heating up all around, it's turning into some great fights!
