Its being mentioned in other threads that the name should be changed. I very much agree and have created this thread for people to add thier suggestions. Who knows maybe someone will see it and rethink the title. Post your ideas for a new title to this sure to be great sim. Which really I think deserves a better name.

My suggestion : "Spinning Loud Things Over Vietnam".

Ok ok, my serious suggestion : LZ Vietnam

Death From Above (DFA).

Also as a bonus feature here is a blurb for the box "Grab em' by the ghilhoulies, and their hearts and minds will follow". One of the more often repeated sentiments of the time.

AirCav, as used by the 80's boardgame. Short and catchy.

i think you guys are going to be disappointed. There´s already a history channel/Discovery channel documentary with the same name. so I don´t think that ´ll work.


I'm a crappy pilot, but one hell of a shot.

Ah maybe thats how the title got into my head I'm not sure. I don't think I've seen the show. But in any event I guess another name is in order. Hum- gonna have to get back to you all on that. I'm not feelin very creative at the moment.

From all titles displayed here until now, my vote would go to:

HUEY!

Clearly that is the aircraft we are the most excited about, but:

"Three major helicopter types will be modeled in the game. The workhorse of the Air Cav, the UH1 Iroquois will probably do the yeoman's work in this sim. Most of us know that this helicopter, considered by many to be the first true practical combat helicopter, is planned for use in this game as an air transport vehicle, air ambulance, and hasty ground attack vehicle.

Other planned helicopters include the CH 46 or 47, the twin bladed Chinook that is used as a heavy air transport. Also planned is an early version of the AH1 Cobra gunship; which made an appearance late in the conflict and struck terror in the hearts of the North Vietnamese", (Tom Cofield).

So "Huey!" would not do the game justice. I still like Porkchop's, "Garryowen: Air Cav Over VietNam". Trouble is, unfortunately, Garryowen would be lost on non-US players, I think. I only recognized it from having seen the John Wayne film, "The Searchers". What about "LZ Vietnam: Death From Above".


As ever,
Birdbrain

AirCav: Dawn of the airmobile infantry.

1st Team.

I really don't care about a name, give me a medivac and the ability to fly into a hot LZ to pick up patients and I will be there.

But seriously how about

Canned Heat
Vietnam: Reap the Whirlwind
Glory Boys
Here comes the Cavalry
Mekong Mayhem \:\)

SD


From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield
