**The Vietnam War version 5.0 by FRVP with Map, Final Version**\
compatable with all versions! new map \~ new units \~ new music \~ new
sprites

Great historical full-function scenario of the American war in Vietnam
1963 - 1975, with other possible outcomes to certain events. Many
rivers, monsoons, jungles and VC guerrilla atacks.

Start out in 1963 with the Diem and Kennedy assasinations and proceed
though the many Vietnam era events from the Gulf of Tonkin incident to
past the S.A.L.T. treaty in 1975. Nuclear tensions are high with USA,
Soviets and China while Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, and Korea battle with
communism. Besides the Vietnam War, Vietnam offers other possible
regional conflicts such as another Korean war (technically they are
still at war today), the Soviet-China conflict, Malaysia-Indonisian
conflict and a China-Taiwan conflict. It also has civil wars for the
shaping of government in countries such as Cambodia and Laos which could
allow attacks within their neutral territories.

Playable countries: North or South Vietnam, Viet Cong, USA, USSR, China,
Thailand, North or South Korea. Also included are Laos, Cambodia,
Taiwan, Phillipines, Indonisia, Malaysia and Singapore. Hmong,
Australian and New Zealand are represented. Best played with agressive
AI settings.

New units: Green Beret, AH-1 Cobra, Advanced Supersonic Fighter, Nuclear
Sub, M41 Light-Tank, Titan ICBM, ABM, Paladin, Missile Launcher, Attack
Helicopters, Advanced Air Cavalry. New brigades: M42 Duster, M113
armored car, Mobile rocket launcher, Improved transport. New sprites:
M-41 complete sprite other basic \'stand\' sprites for both Vietnams and
USA.

New music: Awesome optional sound track for the era in two zips: pre 68
and post 67, use one or both. To get the whole effect you really need
both. Sound track rated PG!

Major map files change: 29 textured new territories added. Back up your
originals? (see below) There are some minor changes or additions to some
config, db, minister, leader and tech files. New graphics were added for
a few new units, ministers, leaders and events. A couple counters, flags
and shields were modified. A helicopter sprite was added. New AI files
for all countries involved were added. Jungle warfare is enhanced.

Made vanilla friendly for Armageddon v1.1 but will work for all with the
correct patch. Unzip files to Armaggedon, Doomsday or HOI2 top-level
directory. No patch needed for Armageddon.

tech_names.csv, unit_names.csv, models.csv, province_names.csv DB:
country.csv, revolt.txt, province.csv /Ministers: all playable countries
/Leaders: all playable countries /Tech: special_weapons_tech.txt,
infantry_tech.txt, armor_tech.txt, aircraft_tech.txt /Units/divisions:
