Just wanted to write a positive review to counter the communist's review below. Yes, these games tackle hard topics. Yes, sometimes you have to play as factions that Leftists find highly objectionable. No, playing a side in a wargame does not mean you endorse their beliefs. This is absurdly obvious but due to the high presence of commies in the reviews, I have to point it out. THAT SAID..Vietnam '65 is the one to get. It's polished, not buggy, fun to play, straightforward. Afghanistan '11 isn't terrible, but it has not aged well. Was great on launch, there are a bunch of fairly serious bugs now. The DLC is a disaster, and introduced a lot of fiddly elements (like vehicle traffic/car bombs). You can't disable this, even though an option in "settings" supposedly allows you to! That should give you an idea of the lack of polish and functionality here. If the main menu is bugged, a lot of stuff is bugged. Devs just aren't fixing it, so I had to move on. Angola and the other games are very promising, but rough around the edges. Wait and see after this one.

Decent game, can be a lot to manage on Elite

Aug. 2024

TLDR: There is combat but you spend most of your time thinking about logistics, planning the delivery of a few resource types to various units and locations safely. Depend on your preferences that's either the most boring sounding thing in the world or the game's main selling point. Combat: The combat is present and in a sense it is very traditional with various ranged and melee (not literally) units to hit the enemies with percentage based odds of wining or loosing. On the other hand it is very asymmetrical. The enemy is an irregular force so they can tunnel to somewhere unexpected and cause trouble, and then scatter away when confronted. when it works, it feels like an engaging simulation of asymmetrical warfare. When it doesn't, it feels frustrating and unfair game of whack a mole. Logistics: There is rations, FOB supplies, ammunition, Fuel, and UN aid. These 5 resources need to go to soldiers, bases, artillery positions, vehicles ,and villages. As the game progresses, those move further from your base. Meaning that your (usually) unarmed and unarmored delivery vehicles can get ambushed, potentially bringing down your whole supply chain. Its not the deepest system in the world (for example you don't manage stocks of anything) but I think it gets the job done pretty well. This is the aspect of the game I spent the most time on and I suspect it will be the case for you as well. End game "twist": I mainly play the skirmish mode instead of the campaign and at the last 10-20 turns of each game, the Americans leave. Unless you have been training Afghan forces and getting them involved, you'll find your self ... well, in the position that the Afghan government found itself. Things go south pretty quickly. I really like this aspect of the game.

Picking terrible fights with Afghan infantry just to get them to SF. 10/10 would charge Taliban hill again

I really like the gameplay, it is quite unique compared to other strategy war games and has a strong focus on logistics as well as fighting. It is a bit tricky to understand fully how to play even after the tutorial missions but once you understand all the little nuances from repelling enemies to managing villages and resources it is a really good turn based strategy game. I think with some minor improvements to the UI the game would really shine more and be a bit easier to play. Something as simple as separating unit types such as mortars in the FOB unit list might make managing units easier. Overall though I recommend the game, just don't panic if you go into negative political points, it is possible to swing things back when you get to grips with the various mechanics.
