I'm sure your analysis is supposed to be strategic, tactical, weaponry or geo-political, however don't forget the human element of the soldiers involved.

The Montagnard uprising, Lang Vei, Plei Me, and Nam Dong, are about as backyard SF as you can get.

Living survivors to interview.
A relevant and professional undertaking involving real people and events some of us have connections to.
Dismissing Son Tay is a shame. Took some big cahones to mount up for that.

Aigincourte was a bunch of faggots in europe hundreds of years ago.

Didn't even have automatic weapons.

LOL, I agree. Rest assured Son Tay was not dismissed for lack of interest, but rather I wanted to research a battle from a clean fresh unbiased view. Truth be told, I was commissioned by a Son Tay Raider who still gives back to the Army down here at Building 4. Truly amazing to hear his story. Prior to meeting him I had also already researched that mission as well as I could. Truly amazing!

Col. Moroney also made a great point in that I had to look to my audience, Agincourte turned out to be the perfect fit.
