[h3]Update highlights[/h3]

New terrain: "The Bra"
This unique new terrain, covering 25 km2, enables players to design and run missions around an infamous section of the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos, nicknamed “The Bra” by MACV SOG units, due to the road shape, viewed from the air.
Updates to Cam Lao Nam
The 1.2 update adds the US Embassy in Saigon and the train station and new city buildings in Hanoi - each recreated from period photographs and thoroughly detailed to add more immersion to urban fighting. Numerous new Vietnamese city house models have also been added.
