A game from Digital Reality from Reunion/Hegemonia fame, made its own take on Vietnam ... dunno about the curse around it ... you know everything that speaks/shows/plays in Vietnam is a flop ... movies flopped (except one : Rambo) ... games flop ( a fine example is MADEMAN great game, but it flopped in sales :( )... books also ... and it does not matter if they are good, or not ... they just do not sell ... guess it has something to do with the American culture and those hate/love times...on one side you had the Flower Power people (hippies) and on the other the G-men war vets ... and the Nixon Administration that lied and cheated ... yeah, its all fault of Tricky Dick and its Watergate scandal ... people just want to forget ...

So, what we get is a mediocre RTS about Vietnam... that has 15 missions , each take from 4 to 6 min to complete ... is this game worth your time ... if your mental, then yes ... its one of those RTS that you cannot heal units (or make any)... its one of those game that wanted to be a adventure/story book with people that point and shot ... but became a boring RTS ... hey kid look at the bright side ,it has nice music ....but, that's all you can get from it
