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.

Reading threw the forum

Post by recon25 »

Hello from across the pond in the UK.
Came across this game on the iPad as I have no console and miss abit of gaming, and well I have to say I take my hat of to you, bit put off the price at first like most but read some reviews and thought it was a no brainer. Amazing concept and idea's and the update is impressive and abit irritating in a good way. Love tactical games and the re supply factor to the game makes it so much complex and becomes more that just one game. Read threw some post on this forum and I really do hope you keep updating the game like mentioned with some more units particular snipers as the concept of the use of snipers really came to light in Vietnam on both sides, more for coalition forces and the tactics behind it. But what makes great games like this on greater is updates. And obviously I appreciate the fact that you have to fine tune it to what you add as it could change the whole dynamics of the game.
As for the difficultly, I hate easy games as well as impossible games but you've some how tuned it in such a way there's no consisted outcome.

Was pleasantly surprised as well that your constructing a Afghanistan version to the game, being a veteran of two tours to the country in an infantry battalion it's a subject close to my heart and hasn't been any real strategy game other than quick first person shooters so be fairly tough to tackle. What time in history is the game going to be based? If it follows the same format to Vietnam 65, really on to a winner.

Keep it up, doing a grand job.

Thanks for the support :)

The Afghanistan adaption will be around 2011 and will have the COIN mechanism employed in V65, but will have a lot more depth specific to the region, including sniper capabilities for the special forces.. :shock:
