Once Campaign series Vietnam is out, other than upgrades, to speed things up perhaps it would be best work on just one new game and one DLC at the same time e.g. East Front III & the Later Vietnam War DLC for CSVN The Cold War game and the Iran Iraq War DLC for CSME West Front II and the Korean War DLC for CSVN Pacific Front and the first East Front III DLC

Jason Petho -> RE: when? (3/6/2021 4:51:12 PM)
Yes, good idea and most of the current focus is strictly Vietnam. East Front III and Cold War are having the Engines updated as we flesh things out with Vietnam and occasionally there is work being done on both when it is not possible to work on Vietnam, for a variety of reasons, just to keep the progress flowing.

Twotribes -> RE: when? (3/23/2021 1:19:08 PM)
So November 2021? Is that pretty sure or questionable?

Jason Petho -> RE: when? (3/23/2021 3:40:53 PM)
Pretty sure!

Twotribes -> RE: when? (3/23/2021 3:56:53 PM)
Been looking for a vietnam game for ever

Jason Petho -> RE: when? (3/23/2021 4:20:25 PM)
That's good news! I hope you'll enjoy what we're offering! It will be a whole new world of Vietnam gaming!

Twotribes -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 7:56:57 AM)
I played a board game that was ok about Vietnam. Forget name.

Jason Petho -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 4:14:24 PM)
What kind of Vietnam game was it? Scale? Any recollections?

devoncop -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 5:54:22 PM)
I played solo the Avalon Hill Vietnam 1965-75 board game when I was much younger and found its mechanics were really good though some players may find it a bit frustrating given how elusive the VC were and the ARVN being hamstrung by political instability and hopeless leadership. I do miss a PC game of similar type on such a big scale (It took me hundreds of hours for a campaign) Campaign Series Vietnam is obviously a very different scale but the love being put into it is evident to see. Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it. Theres several TOAW IV Vietnam scenarios on that scale that are quite good......

devoncop -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 6:30:27 PM)
Hi Yes I have TOAW 4 but the boardgame modelled the political side much better imho and the game was not simply a combat simulation.

Jason Petho -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 6:35:07 PM)
Yes, scale is much different indeed. I am hoping that the "A Week in..." Scenarios will provide some longer playing experiences, where it takes quite awhile to complete the "campaign", as the scenario will be 500 turns and cover 7 days. The TOAW scenarios that Stephane created are excellent.

devoncop -> RE: when? (3/24/2021 6:59:10 PM)
Thanks Jason Yes they sound like something I can get my teeth into ! Dont get me wrong the TOAW scenarios provide a good challenge militarily ....particularly when playing the US/ARVN in pbem but I do enjoy the mechanics revolving around inactive ARVN Divisions and coups for example in the boardgame that understandably cannot be modelled in TOAW4.

dox44 -> RE: when? (3/26/2021 9:15:32 PM)
John, nice to hear from you. all is well here. spending most of my time trying to learn how to play "a time for trumpets". how are you and yours? randy

Big Ivan -> RE: when? (3/27/2021 3:34:52 PM)
Doing good Randy thanks for asking, All is well here. Been busy mostly with the Campaign Series. Was in a couple of tourneys over the last year at the blitz, had a lot of fun too! Just waiting on Vietnam. From what I've have seen so far on the forums it will be an awesome game for sure!! Every once in a while I get over to Tigers on the Hunt. Kind of quiet there lately though. Time for Trumpets? Don't know much about that one but I am looking forward to Valor and Victory. Take care!! John[;)]

Twotribes -> RE: when? (3/28/2021 8:15:16 AM)
The board game played was from GMT.

dox44 -> RE: when? (3/29/2021 11:17:46 PM)
i first really started playing wargames in Jacksonville, NC while i was stationed at Geiger for nearly 3 years. had a club that met every Tuesday night in the S-3 offices. GMT is re-releasing Victory Games Vietnam https://www.gmtgames.com/p-911-vietnam-1965-1975-gmt-edition.aspx may have to buy that. A time for trumpets is a monster. i can't even set it up fully...2 maps wipe out my biggest table. lol.

Big Ivan -> RE: when? (3/30/2021 12:28:39 AM)
Hey Randy, thanks for the link!! I'll have to look at that my friend, it looks very interesting!! Vietnam was a totally different war than the United states troops had ever experienced until that point. Sadly there is not too much on it unfortunately from a game standpoint with computers. I do have Squad Battles Tour of Duty which is a pretty good game, kind of like Squad Leader + in Vietnam. Looking forward for Campaign Series Vietnam on the platoon level for sure![:D]

dox44 -> RE: when? (3/30/2021 1:58:13 AM)
yeah i have SB. play it some. like you waiting on CS:vietnam.
