How would you make a gsg about the Vietnam War work?
>>2458315Where is saddam and the nutty putty guy?
>>2458317Reduced to a shape
>>2458315XCOM: VIETCONG
The fuck you mean grand strategy game? Vietnam is some mountains and some jungles. The area is so small you cant do Hoi4 style because you realistically flew a helicopter from one side to another in a day. The wars are so short you cant do a ck3 or eu5 style game. The most you can do with vietnam is do a fps like Battlefield.
>>2458315Something like Angola '86. I think he also made a vietnam game
>>2458315Campaign series: Vietnam?
>>2458315Espiocracy seems to have an interesting take (if the game ever releases). Instead of trying to paint a map directly with your units, it's more about the intelligence side of things to influence the overall war. Establishing smuggling and support routes, intel gathering, psyops, political operations, surgical spec ops raids etc.

>>2459592A /gsg/ about Vietnam would probably be more akin to a political management game where you gotta balence defeating the VCs with fixing the internal corruption of vietnam and satisfying the United States desires. Kinda like democracy/ Power & Revolution, except the USA got a gun to your head.
>>2458315Most GSGs don't know how to model insurgencies and popular support. So it's better as a tactical game.
>>2458315>gsg for a singular, limited scope conflictretard
You'd have to do something like Crusader Kings where you can manage certain aspects of culture/cores without actually holding the land with HoI partisans and sieging.

>>2465308MacArthur, go the fuck to bed.
>>2465308>gook nook'emI already played 1, 2, and 3D
>>2458315Just have a HoI style game where militia units randomly spawn. You can have landless countries in EU5, so just use them as the Vietcong, so they'd still be playable.
