I think I'll definitely work on the concept of playing an advisor to the ARVN or the VNAF. Early or late war, this is a going concern. Mid-war, it's much more of an American-focus on the ground combat because US forces did the heavy lifting. The VNAF is sidelined late war, as the USN and USAF bring heavier and heavier support options. Depending on the region, the mix of airpower can get very interesting, especially in battles like Ia Drang Valley, where everything was routed over to dump down on the Main Force Viet Cong positions.

I always liked the movie "Bat 21" because it impressed on me just how brave it is to rescue a downed pilot in enemy territory and what utter heroes those crews are and I want to take my writing in that direction for this. Same thing with the kind of guys that made resupply runs for the Air Cav or at Khe Sanh.

So I might play a mix of Forward Observer officers, pilots of airlift, resupply and combat aircraft and, depending on the region, this could involve naval gunfire as well.

Assuming this all works for you [@Jaredthefox92], I am just brainstorming my thoughts here.
