It is still a Work In Progress. You will find them here. http://pijlieblog.blogspot.com/2023/01/playing-nam-comparative-review-of.html

I hope you will enjoy reading it and welcome all feedback.

Interesting read.  I have most of those, and have played a couple.

You may also want to look at The 'Nam, by Wayne Bollands.  Heck, we've also used Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles for Nam stuff, to good effect...

Very useful keen to seeing more here.

I'm still partial to RAFMs venerable Charlie Company by Greg Novak.  Brilliant campaign system.

+1 to that.

Pijlie, all the rules you list so far are IMHO 1-1 skirmish/platoon level. Do you plan to cover company or battalion level rules?  I only ask as I have a big collection of 1/200 figures, vehicles, helos and even riverine and have never found a decent set of rules for them. I did find a quite interesting set called "From the Delta to the DMZ" but they struck me as being a beta set and not completely finished/playtested.

For squad level rules xenos rampant could be used. I tried it and it works quite well it is a bit more abstract though.

Thanks for posting - will be buying FNG off the back of your review

As a rule I only review rulesets I have played or will soon play. Lacking a 15mm or smaller scaled collection the playtesting of company-sized is not in scope.

However, I could be more clear about this a the start of the overview, so I will clarify it in the blog. Thanks for the feedback.
