Communiqué

Epsom, UK – March 05, 2015.
« You will kill ten of us, we will kill one of you, but in the end, you will tire of it first” (Ho Chi Minh – President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam 1945-69)

Fifty years ago Operation Rolling Thunder was launched. Supported by dozens of US fighter-bombers, this massive bombardment campaign aimed to persuade North Vietnam to cease its assistance to communist insurgents in South Vietnam and to destroy key military targets. Soon after ground units were also deployed and the US was fully involved in this iconic Cold War conflict!

Early 1965 US commanders did not realize that they were embarking on a very tricky unconventional war. In Vietnam, firepower and technology only get you so far. Thanks to their knowledge of the terrain, close relationship with the local population and their mastery of guerrilla tactics, the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army regulars proved to be a dangerous and elusive enemy.

In Vietnam’65, a new strategy game releasing today on PC and iPad, players will experience the true essence of this war. Developer Every Single Soldier has focused on providing a realistic and credible Counter-Insurgency model. As a result, victory is not determined by simply eliminating the enemy, but rather by winning the Hearts and Minds of the local population, thereby gaining their support to crush the insurgency. Finding the right balance between conducting raids, ambushing the insurgents and securing the confidence of the locals is crucial in Vietnam’65. But the jungles of Vietnam are full of traps and surprises, not to mention the difficult task of keeping up support for the war back home in the USA…

We are overjoyed to announce that the game is now available for only $9.99 on PC and iPad! A special 10% launch discount is also available on PC only. We are also going to offer a free Steam key to anyone who bought a copy of the PC version from the Matrix Games or Slitherine store, once the game is available on these digital platforms!
