Vietnam Solitaire (2006)

About this game

Vietnam Solitaire puts the player in the shoes of the American and South Vietnamese army as they fight off the Communists in the 60s and 70s. The player will control units representing ARVN, US Regulars, US Air-Cav, Napalm, B52s and Special Forces fighting against a simulated North Vietnamese & Viet-Cong enemy. The game is designed to be fast-play (approx. 60-90 minutes per game). The components consist of rules, 56 counters and a map of Cambodia and South Vietnam. The wargame has been extensively play-tested and offers a good challenge to experienced and novice players alike

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
