Favorite Game Set In the Vietnam War

[Gusington]

What's your favorite? The last game I played set during the U.S. Vietnam War was Microprose' Conflict in Vietnam when I was ~14. Right now I am eyeing Men of War: Vietnam. Anything else you guys can recommend?

Depends what style you want I suppose. I think HPS has a counter moving game...squad battles I believe, set in Vietnam. I like Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam. Not much for simulating land based guerrilla warfare so it's napalm and 20% sidewinder kill rates for me

I'll take almost anything...FPS, TBS, RTS or a sim. Curious about the Men of War game.

Not sure, but I bet of you looked at the big FPS games like Call of Duty, RO and such, you may find a Vietnam war mod???

Edit: here is one for ARMA 2

Interesting. Keep'em coming. I'm also interested in the French and Japanese involvements in Vietnam but short of a game of Civ V I am thinking that games with those countries will be few and far between.

There's a whole series of Vietnam scenarios for TOAW III

Who remembers the VietCong FPS series?  That was great.

The grog in me still loves the Squad Battles Vietnam titles.

Hmm that last one listed for TOAW (1975) sounds interesting...it would be cool to try to hold off the final communist push.

There was Battlefield: Vietnam and a Vietnam expansion for Battlefield Bad Company 2. HPS has 2 Vietnam titles for Squad Battles, and the Modern Air Power: Vietnam game.

It's old but I liked an FPS called Vietcong.  It was made by the same studio that made one of my all time favourite games, Hidden and Dangerous 2.  I don't know if you can still find it anywhere (or if it'll even run on a modern Windows PC) but it might be worth a shot.  Try to find the Euro version as the US one was edited to remove naughty language because, you know, simulating shooting someone in the face is fine, but don't you dare use salty language!

EDIT: Jomni beat me too it.

Yep, loved it too.

What we REALLY need is an operational level computer game covering the entire war on the same scale as Victory games Vietnam board game from the early 80's. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5620/vietnam-1965-1975. Unfortunately I'm not thrilled with the modded scenario for Advanced Tactics: Gold which set out to do just that.

I tried that too. But there's something wrong the scoring.  I started an AAR here way back I think.

+1 For this. The VG board game is a classic. It would be great to have a computer version.
