For those not in the know, Khe Sanh was a combat base on the border with North Vietnam, which was assaulted in 1968 by the NVA 304th and 325th divisions. The airbase was eventually abandoned by US Marines and Air Cavalry in July 1968, although they still claimed victory. You can read the wikipedia article about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khe_Sanh.
The basic idea behind this map is an asset-heavy NVA assault against an entrenched US team with good hilltop positions and helicopter mobility, but almost nothing in the way of armour support. So far I've put about 20ish hours into it, getting some good work done on the airbase and hill 950 but I need to iron out the flag positions and style before continuing on the hills.
Here's the current minimap with planned flag locations:
As you can see, it bears a pretty decent resemblance to actual maps of the combat zone, with a leetle artistic license.
My work on the other map has shown me just how much I need to learn about this stuff, so any and all advice is highly welcome. In particular, I need to decide how many flags to have and where to place them, as that informs which of the hills actually make it into the map.
Sneak-peeks of hill 950 and the airbase (heavily, heavily WIP) available on request.
