I know the NVA were getting resupply and replacements from outside the city, till when?

Yes I can just make up this stuff but I'd rather attempt (as best I can) to create a campaign that reflects what really happened rather then go all Hollywood/video game. Because you can do that already by simply generating a city battle with WinSPMNT.

You will NEVER know most of that so you have to guess and estimate then playtest to see if you have a mix that approximates reality and gives a good game but you will never get this done if you are expecting to know individual unit composition....and "how many RPGs and LMGs" Gimme a break..... I doubt the NV even knew that then !
