Campaign Series: Vietnam

Campaign Series: Vietnam’s latest update is a substantial one. It has added six new scenarios and new orders of battle, alongside numerous bugfixes and improvements. You can download the update directly from this link.

Starting off with new missions. The game now features six entirely new scenarios that cover the Tet Offensive. Tet was a major north Vietnamese offensive in 1968 that caught the south Vietnamese government and their U.S. allies by surprise. While it failed to produce a mass uprising like the north Vietnamese wanted, the shock of it’s scale and complexity stunned the western world. The battles during Tet were some of the most bloody and brutal of the war, and now you can war game out six of them.

To modders and scenario designers we have also expanded the orders of battle. Unit OOB’s have been extended to 1967-1985. If you want to create custom scenarios about the 1972 Easter Offensive or the final decisive 1975 Spring Offensive, those tools are now at your disposal.

The full changelog is posted HERE.
