Men of War Vietnam - what say ye?

Looking for a dumbed down CMBN, and maybe a step away from WW2 - the vids look intriguing - has anyone played it?

Yes I have it. Truly awful in my opinion. If you are looking for a dumbed down CMBN - it is certainly not that - more like a labotomized CMBN - though I would feel nauseous even mention the vietnam game in the same breath as CMBN.

Just my opinion though - I guess if you like the other men at war games you may get something from it but I hate those with a passion also (I dont include squad assault in that though).

Seriously - just a maddening soul destroying excersise in frustration and if you were looking for a less painful experience you could try sticking pointy things in your eyes.

Apologies if the above is a little woolly and not a clear opinion - and again its only my own and others may think differently.

Personally, once I modded it, I found it enjoyable.  A loyal community member, his name is escaping me right now, made a number of scenarios that were far more dynamic than anything the developers made with the stock game.  Those missions breathed new life into the title and made it worthwhile, in my opinion.  I'm on vacation now in a foreign country and the internet sucks, but when I get home I can post links to the mods and missions, if you're interested.
