I'll tell you what I'm after:

A lay out of the "Golf Course"/An khe/An Tuc/Camp radclif or any other name the place is called. I've managed to find one map of the area, but it's just too small a scale to effectivly use.

[Ambush7169]

Hello !

Ok Listy, I search the map of this area...

Best regards,
Laurent

Thanks, I've found some.. but they're no good. One thing I might try is to get a freind to check out the GPS locations with Google Earth. That might provide some clues.

With the links for the VWP, I've found this for tactical maps :
Camp Radcliff West Topo Map (http://www.rjsmith.com/camp_radcliff_0.html)
Camp Radcliff and Eastern Vinicity (http://www.rjsmith.com/camp_radcliff_1.html)
The An Khe Map (http://www.rjsmith.com/an_khe_pass.html)

For larger view :
Golf Course is located in the North West corner of the map (http://www.nexus.net/~911gfx/vietnam/maps/nd49-09/nd49_09c.html)
Golf Course is located in the North East corner of the map (http://www.nexus.net/~911gfx/vietnam/maps/nd49-09/nd49_09b.html)

And :

You found almost exactly the same stuff as I did! From the Same sites.

Lets see what Google Earth brings up...

Edit: just got the piccys back from my freind, and although he didn't zoom in enougth, there is something still there... Even if it's just a layout of the roads. Something which I can feed into Hexgrid.

Unfortanly the Hon Cong mountin is just a lump of tree's.

LOL ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

But without Google... I've found a lot of things for the VWP with Altavista !

Good luck with Google Earth !
I'll search again, I think we can find it !

Faliure! It's not been photo graphed at high resolution. the one I've got is the best it gets, and it's almost the same altitude as the topo maps.

This link is awesome! It might not have photo's of terrain BUT it has Topo's of the whole AO. We should have no problems with accurately reflecting town/village names and base terrain features.
