About the Game
It is 1965 and the US ground war in Vietnam is in full swing. As a US Army commander, wage a counter-insurgency (COIN) war to secure the Ia Drang valley, on the border with Cambodia.In order to win the Hearts and Minds of the local population you will need to search for and destroy the Vietcong (VC) insurgents, who infiltrate from the Ho Chi Minh trail and destabilize the province by intimidating the locals, laying mines and ambushing your forces.
The insurgents also have a bigger brother, the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). This well trained, conventional army have much wider ambitions than the VC, they want to take total control of the valley, a stepping stone to unifying North Vietnam with the South under communist rule.
The NVA conducts operations from across the border, primarily aimed at supporting the insurgency and launching offensives when the time is right.
To carry out your COIN mission, co-ordination of ground troops, special forces, artillery, mechanized units, training of local forces (ARVN) and airmobile assets is essential, but of greater consequence is winning the support of the local population. With greater co-operation from the local inhabitants comes the reward of intelligence, a key factor in COIN warfare.
The war is not fought in isolation, so as the commander of the US forces, you will have the added complexity of managing the support for the war back home, should you the lose the Hearts and Minds of the American people, the war will also be surely lost.
This is a game that captures the true essence of the Vietnam War, where airmobile operations are paramount, fire support bases play a critical role and air strikes can save the day.
Rise through the ranks and watch your personalized uniform transform from a junior Lieutenant to General as you relive the Vietnam War.

Although Vietnam 65 looks like a unique turn-based strategy game, but it has a lot of flaws.
I spent hours learning the manual. The rules of this game are very complicated.
Cons:
-There is no way to dismantle an unused forward base.
-Units run out of supply quickly. So I have to send helicopters to resupply them very soon.
-The direct fire of M48 tank or AH-1 attack helicopter is much weaker than their indirect fire. This is ridiculous.
incredible design, boardgamey but simple and replayable. doesn't take too long to play, evocative.
The only finished game by this developer. Small, beautiful and simple introduction into COIN games. Started my journey into COIN games with this one. For this experience, I am thankful.
A simple turn-based game with nevertheless captures the challenges of fighting an asymmetrical war against a sometimes invisible enemy. It's enjoyable & challenging, and reminds me of an old-school board wargame, except that the computer does all the math & donkeywork for you. Period-appropriate graphics & sound add to the ambience. Feels like you are there.
Too many design decisions that just make it more tedious than fun. The game's core rules only really seem to apply to you.
It takes too long for any impactful strategy to matter, so most of it is just wandering aimlessly looking for a fight.
Resources drain too quickly.
Your most important assets are useless in a fight.
Too repetitive.
A single missclick can absolutely devastate your turn.
Vietnam, do we get to win this time? YOu decide!
Great little game
It's just boring. Feels like a low-budget early 2000's game you'd take to CEX after 30mins gameplay.
