Matrix Games Forums

• This game is meaty, rich, and complex. The manual is hundreds of pages long. This is not a game you learn in a few evenings but rather a few weeks of dedicated study... and even then, I am sure it would take a considerably longer time to master.
• The AI is outstanding in scripted scenarios, and those scripts are available for you to use in building your own scenarios.
• Speaking of which: the scenario editor is robust.
• There are 100+ scenarios included with the game and more to come.
• Work continues on this "living game" in order to continue to make it the best it can be each passing year with no signs of stopping.
• The timeframe spans several decades and goes well beyond US involvement in Vietnam. This is truly a Vietnam game. This helps set the game apart.
• The UI can seem overwhelming but is frankly easy to navigate once you've gotten the hang of it. Like the Wargame Design Studios games, there are tabs you can click to determine which buttons you see, which helps tremendously.
• The developer streams constantly and has a lot of tutorial videos on his channel.
• The historical context presented in the non-hypothetical scenarios helps immerse you in the game.
• The number of factors to consider in every move is tremendous and will keep you thinking for a quite a while between turns.
