Description

An updated reimplementation of the Victory Games' classic.

Vietnam: 1965-1975 recreates one of the longest, most complex, and least understood conflicts in US history in all of its military and political aspects. The game features hidden VC units, airmobility, riverrines, national morale, pacification, ARVN effectiveness, and many other nuances that allow the player to grasp the experience of what it might have been like to conduct the war in Vietnam.

The game includes several small scenarios and two campaign games. Each year is divided into four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter), and each season has two turns (so roughly 6 weeks per turn). The map scale is roughly 6 miles per hex and unit are, generally, battalions or regiments.

First published in 1984, the game has always represented the quintessential grand operational Vietnam game. This 2nd Edition fixes the ambiguities and errors in the original rules and enhances the game with new graphics. It also adds plenty of charts and aids to optimize and streamline play. The game remains faithful to the original design - no unnecessary chrome or rules have been added.

To help with game play, the counters have been increased to 9/16" and the size of the map hexes have increased according. Information markers remain the original 1/2" size.
