G'day Alex, I dont know if obsession is the right word. I find it a very interesting light vehicle which certainly had application (even if limited) in...
I'm planning to try and add all I have, which includes more obscure units and some more mainstream things as well. I have Jac Weller's "Fire and Movement"...
I think people are into it not because it is such a great weapon, but it just looks strange, ugly, and cool all at the same time. In addition, I can imagine...
So I realize because of the relative ease of exchanging the file out, I might update every time I update my master file (which depending on time may not be...
New update. The current file has the following: US Army Aviation Company (Airmobile – Fixed Wing), TOE 1-59D (27 March 1964) US Army Heavy Helicopter...
I'm thinking of going, and if I do I'll at least run a game of FNG, and probably one of MSH or Thud Ridge. Might even do a 1/600 scale helo assault if I can...

how did this differ from USArmy doctrine? as far as I can tell they had older / different helis e.g. sea knight did not use heli gunships for prep fires ...
I remember reading that they prefered using a Chinook helicopeter to air assalt troops, because it kept platoons together under fire. But I was with the Army,...
