In this, my second play through of the Vietnam "The Battle of the Crescent" (Bo_Duc_1970.scn), I am doing much better as the Americans than the first time around.
A different game, a different conflict, with different units and terrain, requires different tactics. Duh.
As the Americans, don't lead with your ground forces. The NVA/VC are mean SOBs at close range. Instead, use your abundant airstrikes, helo gunships, and artillery to soften up the enemy first. Whittle down the enemy, then close in.
After playing so much CSME, unlearn some bad, inappropriate habits. Vietnam's a whole new game. It goes without saying?
