They have at least some tanks though their number and quality is limited mostly to recon tanks, and what little air support they have comes from daring raids from NVA pilots leaping across the border between north and South. They are a largely infantry force and lack access to heavy support units. The skill level of their forces varries as does the quality and type of equipment. The Viet Cong is a largly irregular and cobbled together force of highly trained regular units mixed with irregular veteran gurillas and peasant cadres.

You will have a lot of points left when you're done with your American deck, but that is the challange, controlling yourself. The Strength of the American deck comes from their rapid deployment ability and airsupport. The American decks should be smaller but not "weaker" than their VC and NVA counterparts. When creating your first American deck, pick America, Airborne and before 1980 as your deck restrictions, and name it whatever you want. True for all decks this is particularly true for the American decks due to America's access to prototype equipment in the game. In order to create an accurate Vietnam War deck one must first limit themselves. Thus the Airmobile Infantry unit was formed. In the Vietnam War the United States adopted a strategy of Air Mobility, to compenstate for, initially, the relativly small number of troops and the rough hard to manuver in terrain of the countryside.
