Early Access for Vietnam Ep1 now Live + Autumn 2023 Plans
Added 2023-09-08 10:54:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It's been a couple of weeks of hard work toward the Vietnam series and we're getting to the point now where some videos are starting to be ready for early access.
Episode 1in the series, covering the period from September 1945 - December 1946 now has its early access live for silver and gold patrons, which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88957526
Episode 2, covering the bulk of the first indochina war (France v the Communists) from 1947-1954 is not far behind, and I imagine will be up for early access next week.
Episode 3 will cover the climactic battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, and is probably 3-4 weeks away from early access.
I'm not 100% sure on the publication dates of this videos- I don't want to drop episodes 1 and 2 with a big gap before Episode 3, so they will probably be delayed slightly so that the three can come out quite close together.

The intention then is to publish Episodes 4,5,6 in this series before the end of the year, with their anticipated topics being:
Episode 4 - Ngo Dinh Diem's south vietnamese regime, and the US-approved coup that removed it
Episode 5 - the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and the drive towards US ground troops arriving in early 1965
Episode 6 - 'Americanisation' of the Vietnam war- we'll do a narrative of a typical operation in this video to show what the war was like
Then the remainder of the series will arrive in 2024. But that isn't the end of the content planned for this autumn!
We're also doing two short and snappy videos on the naval battles at Narvik 1940, which saw some intense destroyer fighting at close range between the British and Germans, as well as the bold deployment of a battleship into shallow and narrow waters.
These two are well in production, with some animation already done.
These will come out probably in October/November
On top of these, I'm hoping to have a couple of extra videos in December to maximise the most important time of year for YouTube. Topics are mostly TBD, but the aim is to maximise view count.
