ARVN Airborne Vietnam War

This is a small infantry config faction made using SOG Prairie Fire, S&S assets, Laffing Lizard's Bush Retextures for S&S and Phantom Phixers. I really wanted to utilise the excellent French style Brush Stroke & Vertical Lizard camo from Laffin' Lizard & the ARVN ERDL and customised helmets from Phantom Phixers. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting ARVN Airborne units from the early and later phases of the Vietnam War. However i have added certain 'fantasy' elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear! This is a separate release to my other ARVN faction config as it contains more depencies (mentioned above) than just CBA and S&S and i am aware some of us don't like to overload the mod list.

I have given the ARVN units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights. US Advisors have American voices.

I used ALIVE's ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units' loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don't know how to get around this i'm afraid. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc.

You'll find the following groups in the mod under 'ARVN Airborne Vietnam War':

ARVN Airborne, early war (1964)
- Several diffferent groups from squads and sniper teams to platoons in full gear with backpacks using surplus French camo based on British WW2 patterns and basic US equipment
- MACV advisors to ARVN Airborne

ARVN Airborne, later war (1968)
- Several diffferent groups from squads and sniper teams to platoons in full gear with backpacks using ARVN ERDL camo, some with graffitied or custom painted helmets
- MACV advisors to ARVN Airborne
