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. Vietnam '65 is a tun-based operational 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.
This is less a wargame and more of a logistics game where you spend most of the time resupplying the troops. About 50% of your moves is doing just that...every turn. It gets old fast.
Not a bad game but I think mechanically flawed in a very big way.
It's cheap so try it but....you were warned.
