[color=39b54a]Update:[/color] So, I've decided to go with the Central Highlands as was suggested to me. Thus we're going to have the setting where there is a strong ARVN and allied presence. Also, due to the fact most people here have requested to be on the forces of the capitalist powers, I'm going to substitute NPC's and characters on the communist side to balance this out. I will also be introducing a Chinese officer 'antagonist' to be the coordinator of the NVA forces. This way, we can have a character trying to oppose the others behind the enemy lines and directing the enemy forces until we get more people willing to play on the side of the communists. 

If anyone has any more suggestions, please inform me so I can try to formulate a proper starter. This is a major series of historical events, so I need all the help I can get.

Kon Tum is the province that borders Laos and is a decanting area for the Truong Son Road, better known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Dak Lao, Dak Nong, Gia Lai all border Cambodia and are also staging areas for PAVN activity.

There is actually a degree of acrimony between Vietnamese and Chinese types, the Russians were way more supportive. There was such acrimony between the North Vietnamese and Ethnic Chinese, Nungs, that the Nungs moved south in 1954 and became some of the most capable troops that Special Forces trained in Vietnam, out of a number of different ethnic minorities that the US reached out to. Montagnards are particularly represented in the Central Highlands.

Anyway, a Chinese advisor might get a pretty frosty reception from Vietnamese troops. No love lost there, even for fellow Communists.

My focus will probably be on the air support element, especially CSAR operations.
