GMT Games has a hidden Vietnam 1965-1975 P500 page

Well well this is interesting...a complete rework of the original master. Can't add it to my cart YET, as I think the page is not live or it is crashing the site.

From the site:  https://www.gmtgames.com/p-911-vietnam-1965-1975-gmt-edition.aspx

"For many of you, as for us, the mere existence of this announcement is a dream come true. That we get to work on it is just icing on the cake.

Vietnam 1965-1975 has always represented the quintessential grand operational Vietnam game for us. The systems all work together beautifully to evoke the feel of the war whether playing the focused scenarios or the sweeping breadth of the campaign games. To that end, let us tell you what to expect with this reprint edition.

But first, we want to let you know what this reprint is not: it is, most emphatically, not a reimagining of the game. There will be no major rule changes. No chrome will be added. Although we are well aware that the available historical record on Vietnam is vastly expanded since the original publication, the game has always been an abstraction of the conflict as opposed to a meticulously exact reproduction of every fact. The intent with this edition is to clarify where needed and change only if necessary.

With that said, let's get on to the good stuff! The primary goals are to bring the components up to a modern standard and to clean up any ambiguity in the rules. This will be done using both the collected wisdom of the community as well as Nick's input through close consultation as to his original intent on some of the thornier questions."  #GMTGAMES
