Meh true, but most of Swadii's topics get that way one way or another.
I doubt this will get anything anyway. I mean, forests, good. Plains, good. Tropics, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad..
Sheer amount of work just making the playing area would be enough for most modders.

Since when was historical accuracy one of Swadii's concerns?
Just look at his "Napoleon" mod; he just snagged a bunch of OSP, Waterloo, and Perennial Nuisance materials and threw them together haphazardly...
This "Vietnam" mod will probably consist solely of WilliamBerne's WW2 models being tossed about under a different name...
It's like taking beef, and slapping a new label that says "chicken," even though it's clear that it's definitely not chicken.

But dude that's Swadii's trademark
Kinda like the Boeing 747 Hypothesis when you think about it...

A Korean war mod may be slightly more attainable, and would fit the bill if your going to use WW2 guns I guess...

I have an idea for this mod
The theoretical start of the Vietnam war was the end of World War 2
The French, lost Vietnam to the Japs in WW2, the Vietminh (no its not a spelling mistake it was a group of Vietnamese Guerrillas led by Ho chi Mi) took Vietnam back from the japs. The French not happy wanted Vietnam back, Soo the French fought the Vietminh and but the natives won, dividing Vietnam into North and South, As we all know the North wanted Communism but the USA did not want that. The USA made the elections stop, which made the north invade.
Now after that brief history lesson here is my idea
This could be an invasion type mod, for a while it was just the South Vs the North, so for a while you could have the north and south fighting each other then i think sometime in the late 1950 or early 1960's sorry don't know the actual date when USA officially entered the war. The USA could "invade" similar to the SoD invasion mod.
I also have some ideas for Factions
North Vietnamese army- These were the army that got teh biggest funding from Soviet Union and Communist China
Vietcong- These were South Vietnamese Guerrillas who wanted Communism
South Vietnam- The country aided by USA
USA-Duh
ANZAC- The Australian New Zealand army corps played a pretty big role in the Vietnam war. But never got much credit because they were considered the little brother of USA
Phew that was a mouth full lol
Sorry if i made any spelling mistakes, grammar ect
So yeah just my idea for this mod

Swadii said:It isnt just weapons from WW2 China.....
and Why dont you want A Vietnam mod for M&B
i think is cool to have an (Kind A)Modern Mod
Because even the modern-ish weapons in WW2 in China don't work terribly well on M&B.. Not being able to duck, grenades just tearing entire armies apart, the medieval warfare AI not realising how far they should spread out, not being able to properly divide into squads/fireteams (without either a heavy amount of modding, or (more realistic given that this is Swadii) taking them from those mods which have already done it).. Have a look at their thread to see more details on all the problems/solutions.
So making an even more modern mod, based in the tropics (which, as has already been stated) itself won't fit the game engine.. I can't really see it working amazingly well. Sorry Swadii.
EDIT: sorry, that sounded very negative... By all means make this mod, if you'll enjoy it... just don't get your hopes up about it being amazingly well received.
