Vietnam ? No, I dont think a baby killer game will sell.
Ummm… please… as an American Vet, please don’t go there… unless you were there, I don’t think you should be sticking labels on things.
For the record, babies die in every war, including WWII.
I am a vet too, so I know. Politics are banned on this forum, so we are now in a minefield. What I think, is that WWII was a clean fight, it was pure evil against good men, and the conflict had a winner. Most of the modern conflict cant be won, there are losers on all sides. We lost in Vietnam, even after committing war crimes like the use of chemical weapons against civillian villages. And every family in US have a relative with PTSD. Even the designer of A&A, mr Harris, is a vet from the 82 airborne. So I figure there are no way in … a frozen place… that WOTC are going to make a Vietnam game. Too much bad feelings. And of course, no offense. This is just IMHO, man.
Now, what I belive will happen, is that, since Larry actually lived several years in France, and love France, and based on the fact that he made the Guadelcanal game just to honor his fathers service there, that his next game will either be the battle of France in 1940, not very likely since US need to be involved if he wants to sell this game, so my bet is a new D day game, or maybe a Normandy operational level game, or a Global 3 edition game. My 2 cent.
