eestikas88 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Think that if any us soldiers are still there captured ,they're dead. But cool idea!I'll play it when released! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warrior Xâ„¢ 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Ah here we go, your thread. Bravo, good idea around the campaign. In real life i'd say it's nearly impossible to have them still in Vietnam, but if they are actually still in there i am sure the US would send a well trained force to get them out of that country. They would probably just do it to show to the rest of the world that they are still out there, and that they haven't been forgotten. A good idea m8, now you just have to think it out well. And off course keep the crowd happy, just look in my thread. People can be anoying with their pic cravings . I'm seeeing good potential for this campaign idea. Good luck m8!!! p.s. few dutch words: Veel geluk met je campaign!!! Yep ik ben ook Nederlands. p.p.s. To the english speaking world, the above means in dutch: Good luck with your campaign!!! Yes, i am dutch to. "put in smile here" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â he he mooi makkelijk dat taaltje van ons je komt ons ook overal tegen (translated : its a easy language that of ours you find us (the dutch) everywhere:P) tnx guys ill put in the best effort i can get up with there will be some things i'll need for starters i need old mens faces (70-90 years in age :P ) if anybody could do them or knows somebody who could do them i would thank dearly for it (i was always learned to plan a operation backwards start with the final approach then work your way back till what you need for it and thats the way im going to do this ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Cool concept, though I highly doubt there are still alive soldiers in vietnam...my only concern is it going to be like Delta force versus 1968 nva? That would be weird...you should use some of the great opfor packs to make some cool, modern guerillas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MontyVCB 0 Posted February 24, 2005 yea i was thinking that to, the NVA today is a lot different when it was in 1968, the airforce evan has a small number of SU-27s , i would suggest you do some background research on the NVA's equipment in use today , great concept, reminds me of the MIA films Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supergruntsb78 67 Posted February 24, 2005 the nva regulars will be equiped better then back in 68 the local militia (vc) will still be poorly armed its not going to be DELTA vs NVA --->> U.S.NAVY SEALS vs NVA is more likely (too much water for the delta boys :P ) (you guys are right on the newer equipment but most of it was donated by russia/china to the NVA, vietnam it self is still a pretty poor country with not much money to spend on weapons etc. althoug they are going foreward and therefor they will not have much weapons that can match todays standards) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LP4Life 0 Posted February 25, 2005 I think this campaign would be really cool for one reason and thats to remeber those guys who didnt come back from "The Nam" My suggestion is to make it more beileveable put the timeline in the early 1980s or mid-1980s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stgn 39 Posted February 25, 2005 This might be realistic if you take it back to the 80ties or late 70ties(can't remember) cause back then Delta force(this is told by a man who claimes he served with Delta Force from the begining and 8 years forward) was planing to make shouch operations but the two times they wanted to go some atventura turned up on tv and said he was going to do it= soldiers where moved form the camps the two times and where problery killed at last. besides shouch an operation is not for seals its for special forces, seals are good but they are more a raiding force which operates near water.

STGN well someone has sucked the fun right out of this concept  he he the fun is not sucked out yet i have been thinking about the timeline and maybe i will set it back a little but im only considering it at this time as for the seals ,vietnam has lots of jungle with rivers but also lots of AAA and therefor the best way in is through the water thats why i selected the seals they will be supported by some other units (with these type of missions the brass select men from all special ops units so they have a force who can operate in all matters and with all type of missions) as far as the campaign is going the ideas for the missions are already on paper now its getting time to get to work on it i will keep you informed supergrunt out..............

sputnik monroe 102 Posted March 1, 2005 This would be a SEAL type operation. Special Forces are used more as military advisors and for training indigenous forces. Special Forces wear Green Berets (hence the nick name). Also the US navy SEALs while often being deployed from the sea aren't required to be near water to fight. Conceivably you could drop them in the middle of the Sahara and they would fight just as well. They aren't amphibians, they wont spontaneously die or lose combat effectiveness if there's no body of water in sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LP4Life 0 Posted March 1, 2005 It could be a SEAL op, it could be a Army SF op,it could be an army Rangers op,it could be a Marine Force Recon op. I say make it a Marine Force Recon op since there are so many missions with SEALs,Army SF,and Army Rangers being the main force conducting the op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supergruntsb78 67 Posted March 3, 2005 about the time line it will probably set back to around the 80's as miss_cleo as making some pretty good looking seals from around that time frame so this means ill have to redo my background searches again and wait for the seals to be ready (ill make the missions and when they are released ill switch the current soldiers to those seals) a also decided to make the cia involved a little bit more so the troops used are not only seals (to make some people who hate seals and are wearing fur coats happy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOBOMAN 0 Posted March 18, 2005 I don't mean to dig up an old thread but, I have made pow camps that I would like to give the public; I hope they can help you guys. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=45498 Edit: Have you guys seen the movie Rambo II (First Blood Part 2)? The movie is similar to your campaign (expect the year is 1985 and an ex-green beret is sent in to take photos of pow camps in nam, then he is left behind and rescues the pows by himself.)

burroughs 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Quite a refreshing idea for a nam campaign - I'll certainly give it a willful try when it's released. I think your on the right side of the tracks with the conception of utilizing the brand new SEALs addon; I've seen the pictures and they look great. By the way, I hope they are going to be released not only in the desert camo - that would be an obstruction to the campaign, wouldn't it? ... Make a thorough investigation on the major issues at least: weaponry,tactics, research political & historical background a little,I guess you know what I mean - there are few as offputting things in missions that are supposed to be "realistic" as mistakes in the basics. Once I dared tp play a mission in which NVA was claimed to make benefit of the drug traffic as their main source of income ... Geeez! ... Good luck with the campaign.

supergruntsb78 67 Posted March 20, 2005 well to be honest when i searched for information  i also read that the NVA was using small time drug operations to get more funding  althoug it wasnt cocaine or xtc  (opium) so it could well be that they did it more then we would know  but dont worry thats not going in to the campaign  i also hope the 80 seals get released in more then desert colors but as i read the topic cleo said it will be in 3 colors at least  woodland/black/desert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
