Disciplined regulars
The North Vietnamese Army counters American firepower with patience and ground knowledge. Their signature system is the tunnel network, which lets them move unseen and survive air attack.
How they fight
NVA teams thrive on ambush, flanking and disruption. Tunnels enable rapid, hidden redeployment; their boats can transport and deploy supplies along the waterways. Expect them to fight from prepared positions and strike where the US is weakest.
Strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: concealment, ambush, resilient logistics via tunnels and boats.
- Weaknesses: no helicopters; tunnels are destroyed when territory changes hands.
