Fire in the Lake (Third Edition) (engl.)

Description

Fire in the Lake (Third Edition) (engl.) is an expert-level game for 1 to 4 players aged 14+ with a playing time of 180 minutes. It explores the complex Vietnam War conflict through multi-faction gameplay, including US counterinsurgency, Communist infiltration, Saigon politics, and media war, reflecting the cultural and political struggles of 1964 South Vietnam.

Vietnam, 1964. The most wrenching US engagement of the Cold War would be far more than GI versus Charlie. The conflict had set tribesman against nationalist, Buddhist against Catholic, mandarin against villager, and of course Northerner against Southerner—even among the communists. As revolutionary change burned through that ancient civilization, Washington would apply its armament and its operations research. To get out, the US counterinsurgency would have to motor deeper and deeper in. In the end, culture and will would overcome technology and math and signal the end of the primacy of industrial might in modern warfare.

Volume IV in GMT’s COIN Series dives headlong into the momentous and complex battle for South Vietnam. A unique multi-faction treatment of the Vietnam War, Fire in the Lake will take 1 to 4 players on US heliborne sweeps of the jungle and Communist infiltration of the South, and into inter-allied conferences, Saigon politics, interdiction of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, air defense of Northern infrastructure, graduated escalation, and media war.
