We went over the latest and greatest Campaign Series news, mostly about the Cold War 2D Silhouettes and then returned to the final battle in the Campaign Series Vietnam Dien Bien Phu series of scenarios. It's a tedious fight but we are gaining progress. We're on the doorsteps of the headquarters while we isolate various French positions, cutting off their supply and reducing their effectiveness. Day light has arrived which has made our artillery a wee bit more effective, especially against the trenches. The French are having a bad day as the Viet Minh are swarming all over their positions. C'est la guerre.

It was a glorious feeling finally wrapping up these Dien Bien Phu scenarios for Campaign Series Vietnam. I was using the BETA version of the Spring update, so there are few little new things to see! Before the violence, we went over the latest and greatest news for the Campaign Series and gave an overview of how the assignments of the silhouettes will work in the game. After the completion we dove into The Contradiction Vietnam scenario that has us in control of a armoured Task Force to counter-ambush a Viet Cong ambush. I've played this before, but it's been a long while and it will be nice to try it, especially with all the changes in the recent updates. On the bright side, there are tanks, helicopters and a whack load of goodies to play with in this scenario!

The beauty about Campaign Series Vietnam is that you can have the best plan in the world and the AI tell you to go firetruck yourself. This is definitely one of those cases. Our counter-ambush was going well, we were making some progress and making some ground with our troops on the flanks of the Viet Cong Regiment. Alas, there was another major Viet Cong attack that caught me completely off guard, especially when my helicopters were off getting refueled. Talk about timing. We're creeping to the end, for better or worse!
