I decided to play the game to see if any of the v1.11 features were present, turns out I have the v1.11 game. It could have saved me quite a bit of frustration if V65 would show the version number somewhere on the opening screen.

Where does V65 show the version number ?

....THAT's...what I thought.

I've installed V65 on my ipad, downloaded the 1.11 patch through DropBox, extracted the .zip file with WinZip, at which time I get: "Open file failed. Try to open with other apps" with an arrow pointing to a drop down menu. In this menu I can select mail, dropbox, or winzip, selecting any ...

Looks like an update that was much needed. I look forward to giving V65 a go, hopefully the game that occupies my spare time for a good while.

I havent seen such active support from a developer in quite some time, kudos to Vietnam65 and my thanks for all the efforts.

Some pre game determined randomness of villiage intel reliabiliby, with a reliability "slider" that moves closer to the "more reliable" the longer the villiage is under US control, and vice versa for NVA control ? The more villiages that report the same intel, the more likely it ...

If V65 was $20, would it increase the production value of the game ? ....possible follow ons to the game maybe ? Hire some techie right out of school to enter code ? $10 sounds too cheap. IMO, computer gaming has to be THE cheapest entertainment "bang for the buck" there is. I think I figu...

Given this fact, V65 may have leant itself well to more of a focus on the Mekong delta, coastal areas, maybe some urban....terrain that has....well.....less hills then the Ia Drang. I do like that a technical limitation was realized, and instead of including some sort of hills that simply don't work...

As far as terrain goes, I don't see elevation changes being represented either on the map or game play. Where are the hills ?

Some sort of Hot LZ is a must in any Vietnam wargame.

Ryujin, I like the idea of Arty/Air strikes having a chance of hitting the adjacent hex to the one targetted. For Arty, that chance could increase the longer the range. For Air, chance increase the worse the weather. Blowing up a villiage having a major impact on H&M. Would be a great way to wor...

UI aside, I do hope there is the possibility of FF in the game somehow.

What is The Vietnam War without hearing, "HOLD YOUR FIRE !! HOLD YOUR FIRE !!" being shouted into a "Prick-10" radio hand set. In fact, that would make for a great voiceover when it happens.

Silent Sevice on casette.......awesome. :D Thanks for the walk down memory lane. A VERY valid point here being, it was the gameplay that we loved, our imaginations filled in the gaps and shortcomings of the graphics in those days. I recall being very entertained and engrossed in many of those early ...

Having said that, it should be a stupid mistake by me, and not some glitchy UI.

That is SO refreshing to hear. I am looking to really giving the updated version of V65 a go, I will post my comments, for whatever they are worth. So far, I really like what I see with V65. I don't tire of good games, I still wish I had my Apple IIe so that I could play Geopolitique 1990 again,.......

I am 45 years old and have been a wargamer for 30 years. In that time my priorities have changed when it comes to what I look for in a wargame. Here is my Top 5 list in order of importance: 1 - Playability. There is always a tradeoff between Realism and Playability. I tend to look for games that lea...

I appreciate that the Realism/Playability slider leans more towards playability, I agree with this approach. ....but In this instance, I think that both realism and playability are achieved by it being a pretty rare event that a supply helicopter would receive significant damage in an ambush along i...

I like the ZOC shading idea, but only if its very subtle. As for FOG, in a 'traditional' wargame, yes, I like FOG. I like wargames where recon is very important. However, with VN65, I think the whole game should be based on FOG, that's what the Vietnam war was, nothing but FOG, so I don't feel that ...

I can see where trying to locate and eliminate a spawn point would be a fun (and realistic) part of the game. Im glad to see that NVA and VC are modelled differently.

I do hope that there is consideration for the UI to take full advantage of iOS. BotB and DoM are brilliant in this regard. I can only hope VN65 follows suit.
