Bought the game this morning and have just 'completed' Boot Camp 2 - although I am far from satisfied by my strategic performance - will replay Boot 2 later :oops:

Great game, no regrets despite the hesitancy as the only Vietnam game I have ever played was back in the 80s with Vietnam 65-75, another great game when my cat didn't walk over the two huge maps knocking the counters everywhere!

I was impressed how the AI worked around and isolated two of my units on an aggressive push. The AI action seemed logical, for what I could see through limited flares, and this will certainly keep the challenge of maintaining 'correct' unit movement in the scenarios yet to be played out.
Being a fan of the WITP AE and WITE 2, this game is refreshing to be able to play at small unit encounters. Although I love the named two games I was never a general or an admiral, although several years as an NCO in a para unit -should- give me a better edge against the AI. :mrgreen: The detail in this game looks impressive as I did have a peek at some of the Youtube channels and could see the potential.

Good effort by those who have built this game, looking forward to cracking on with the rest of the content.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, GiveWarAchance.

Hopefully Matrix/Slitherine will remedy that for you.

Too bad this slitherine/matrix site is too janky to let me buy it. I tried about 20 times to buy this game and another one and I get the same stupid picture clicking drill and then the "shopping cart error" endlessly in a loop of evil.
Good luck to your game. I hope some people can buy it. I wish this game was on steam instead of this corrupt slitherine site.
Hopefully it will still find it's way to steam in a couple of months.

Please email support! I am having the same issue (and others looking in the General Discussion forum) It's frustrating but apparently It's something to do with their payment processor they deal with.

Thank you for making a Vietnam game with good detail. It is odd that such an exotic, interesting war has been mostly overlooked by games except for a couple of tactical games and a couple first person shooters but those are lame multiplayer games.
After reading through your posts, and post history, it looks like the problem is on your end... not Matrix Games.

Umbra why are you stalking me?
It is too scary to post on this website.... as well as impossible to buy games. And yes the problem is with the website. My card works fine anywhere else.

Is there a way to hide my post history from losers like Umbra_TSSI? I don't want problems.
I looked through the user control but can't find any security options. This is another weird problem with this site. The only thing is a weird "foe" list I can put his name on but that is really weird. This site needs a normal block option on user names and a way to hide posting history from stalkers.
