Matrix should adapt Victory Games Vietnam

[nerosfiddle]

Hi,
I've been thinking that given the excellent adaptation of Empires in Arms and the Guns of August that was made by Matrix Games, another board game they should try to adapt is the old Vietnam 1965-1975 2 player board game published by Victory Games back in 1984.

It's a large scale campaign game that covers both the military and political elements of the conflicts. It also includes a number of scenarios that can be played in much less time than the full campaign (which can easily take over 200 hours of play).

Guys and Guyettes,

There are a couple of TOAW scenarios based on the Victory Games Vietnam 1965-1972 boardgame. Also a few scenarios from the Central America boardgame. The map from the latter looks a little crowded though.

Best wishes,
Steve

Agreed! A faithful PC conversion of the original game would be great!
