The semi-highly anticipated and the not yet duplicated new tactical wargame by Mark H. Walker (Forgotten Heroes, Band of Heroes) is live on Kickstarter. A squad-level, tactical game, '65 recounts the early battles of the Vietnam War, from Ia Drang to Operation Starlight, and most everything between.

The large and beautiful counters (1" to 1.375" square) represent squads, Leaders, Heroes, Snipers, M-48 and Pt-76 tanks, and more. As these units' commander gamers move and fight over several geomorphic game boards as they try to best their opponent in one of eight, nail-biting historical scenarios.

The game is card-driven, using a system similar to Flying Pig's Night of Man, adding a sense of delicious uncertainty to the play. "Can I advance my sappers or does the enemy have a fire card he's just waiting to play?"

Furthermore, the cards simplify the game, containing much of the data needed to play. Gamers won't spend the afternoon with their head in a rule book when they play '65. This is a game created by gamers for gamers to play. '65, squad-level gaming at its best.

I wonder how big the difference is between his new games and his old Lock N Load ones.

Anybody have any idea?

Big differences

Read the info about Night of Man on BGG. The types of starts and the card-driven action is very different. On his episode of the GrogCast he also talks about how different Sticks & Stones is from W@W
