Vietnam 1965-1975 (engl.)

Description

An updated reimplementation of the Victory Games classic Vietnam 1965-1975. The game offers several small scenarios and a few campaign games. Each year is divided into four seasons—Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter—each consisting of two turns, representing roughly six weeks per turn. The map scale is about 6 miles per hex, with units generally representing battalions or regiments. During the operational phase, players alternate turns, with the NLF player determining who acts first. They conduct operations aiming to destroy enemy forces, clear roads, capture towns and cities, or reposition units strategically. In the Campaign Game, during Seasonal Interphases, each player decides whether and how many additional units or resources to bring into the fight. Key game features include hidden Viet Cong units, airmobility, riverine operations, national morale, pacification, ARVN effectiveness, and numerous other nuances that help players experience the complexities of conducting the war in Vietnam. This simulation recreates the longest, most complex, and least understood conflict in U.S. history, covering both military and political dimensions. The rules provide detailed treatments of movement, terrain, search-and-destroy operations, special operations, firepower, airmobility, riverines, brigade-level formations, limited intelligence, and the use of auxiliary units in each scenario. This edition includes rule changes and clarifications as well as upgraded components compared to the original printing.
