Wow, I only just looked at the player aids and they're really nice. Are there versions for the other COIN games?

No, the ones linked in the OP that look fan-made. There's some strategy advice and descriptions of prop rounds and stuff.

According to the rules, Van Minh is not considered a card and thus would not be flipped by the unshaded side of Brinks Hotel. Is this correct?

FITL Playbook posted:

Tips. Unshaded text has no effect on “Duong Van Minh” or “Failed
Attempt”; a flipped RVN leader card still counts as a card in the RVN
leader box, such as for Pivotal Event pre-conditions.

Rally North Vietnam, Central Laos, Southern Laos, Parrot's Beak placing guerrillas in North Vietnam and bases elsewhere.
Infiltrate to place troops in Central and Southern Laos (fullest extent, converting no guerrillas.)

What are you offering?

I'll start haggling at a couple resources and a promise to leave that tunnel alone but I can be flexible (also this was gonna be easier when you weren't gonna get full ops)

I'll execute my turn in the morning but for now: anyone got ideas on how to stop the VC? They're up by 4. There's only 3 cards left in the campaign, coup card could be any of those 3. If it's next, they'll go last after all 3 of us have gone. Neither event is helpful to us. I can't snipe any bases, but at best I can infiltrate in QTTT to reduce Opposition by 2. The ARVN can Pacify in Kien Phong to bring them down 4, so by itself that'll do. US doesn't have resources to Pacify but they can Assault QTTT to kill a base (if they airlift in 2 more troops). Assuming prop card is next, the VC will be unable to bring their victory points up by more than 1 on a limop (by building a base.) If they get a full Op they can get 2 by building bases. So if all 3 of us gang up on VC, they'll go down to 32, and then get back up to 34 (either by terror in QTTT or, assuming the next card isn't coup and they go first, passing and building 2 bases.) Either way we're still in the game.

So I'm planning to Rally a Guerrilla in QTTT, Infiltrate there, and improve the trail. Anyone got a better suggestion?
