Other than Jon's Vietnam scenario and Techumseh's in the works, are there any others on the net?

It could be finished with a little help. Anyone interested in some ToT scenario development?

In case anyone does investigate this one further by going about making a Vietnam War scenario, as per my comments in another thread started a long, long time ago, I found that these two sites would provide a very suitable starting point for more information; http://www.pbs.org/battlefieldvietnam/ and http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam/.

Sources tell me that John Valdez of Civilization Fanatics Center is making a Vietnam War scenario. i'll email him tonight to see if he's still working on it.

The thread I refer to was in relation to techumseh's proposed Test of Time Vietnam scenario. I thought that you could compile a creditable looking game using ToT's existing sprites - mostly orginal game sprites, but some of the sci-fi ones could be discretely used without looking totally out of place.

Many of the tricks used by Captain Nemo in Red Front and Second Front could be applied within the ToT framework, while multiple maps could be adopted to replicate the Viet Cong's use of underground bunkers (just a thought!).

The 'flags and masks' feature could be widely applied to enrich the political themes that endured through the conflict.

Anyway, the two sites (I felt) were very useful in breaking the war down into a fairly 'Civ-friendly' format.
