Are we still on for a January 20th release of the game?  Apologize if I missed that confirmation somwhere.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Thanks, Grogs!  :hug:

I just finished the set of articles that I set out to write a couple of months ago - in September, actually, yikes! - with a blog post about the actual Vietnam War scenarios covered in the game.

Here's the link: The Vietnam War in CS: Vietnam 1.0 (redirects to CSLegion.com)

It starts with Operation STARLITE, which Jason is also live-playing at our Twitch Channel.



Then there's the battle of Long Tan, depicted in the recent Danger Close movie from 2019, and finally a few words about the Khe Sanh hill fight scenarios, prelude to better known battle of Khe Sanh of 1968, included in the coming DLC for the game.

Any questions, comments, do give a shout.! Apologies for all the typos there, it's been a hectic past few days.


... Only a few days until the game comes out. It has been a long road here, quite incredible to see this happening, finally! Thank you everyone for your patience :notworthy:  , little did we anticipate it would take us this long to arrive to here where we are now.

Been playing around with the press code and I must say, it is like seeing an old friend who is aging gracefully. Look forward to some AAR action once I finish the Boot Camp scenarios.

I didn't realize that another game will come out from 1967-1975.  This is going to be a completely stand alone game?
