Conflict and Chaos: Vietnam 1965

Hi everyone!

It appears there were a few misprints and missed updates in the files on the Game Crafter site. Apologies to those who have purchased this game prior to today.

**Here is a list of errata and clarifications from any copies purchased prior to 23/08/2021:

ERRATA

CONTROL AND ROUND TRACKER MAT ARVN Starting Production Points should be 22, not 23. PARU Starting Production Points should be 13, not 23.

2) GAME BOARD/MAP

US Control Markers missing from the following territories;
** Bankok, Nkhon Phanom, Ubon Ratachathani. PARU Control Markers missing from all Thailand territories. ARVN Control Marker missing from Sadec. Country names missing.

3) RULE BOOK

Page 2: Armored Personnell Carriers are NOT in game (removed from components list). Page 7: Special Unit Rules and Placements: ARVN - “New ARVN units are placed in Saigon. If Saigon is controlled by Communist forces, ARVN may not place new units.” Page 7: Units and their Values: “*Helicopters are available to purchase by the US and ARVN player powers only.” Page 8: ANZUS: Anzus units deploy in Saigon, or if Saigon is controlled by Communist forces, Dixie Station. Page 11: Special Political Rules and Effects: Anti Communist Forces: The Silent War (Cambodia and Laos): add to first line “(Units starting the game in these territories do not count unless they move and remain in Cambodia or Laos)” Page 13: Bombers: “You may not conduct bombing on any territory you control” Page 13: Bombers: Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail: “Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail is not considered invading and therefore does not allow the VC player to gain additional troops”

CLARIFICATIONS

Can Covert units move on the covert map?

No, covert troops remain in place. If they move, they are no longer covert and must be placed on the main board.

PARU has units starting the game on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Are those territories US owned at the start of the game?

Those territories begin the game as ‘contested’/occupied and not controlled. If the Communist forces do not take them by the end of the first round and PARU or other Anti Communist forces remain, they will be controlled by the US (or other Anti Communist force).

He posted in the correct forum: other games. What exactly is the issue here?

global conflict  anyone play this?

it’s more like risk than A&A  but you can only see units next to you as opposed to the whole board

@Imperious:

They could never make Moral 41 with plastic. It would take 1,500 pieces to get a playable game. It has alot of different types of units. The ceramic tiles represent various raw materials for war effort…i do mean alot.

The plastic, as you probably know, is pretty cheap once you get the molds and if you have a big wallet for a big run. That’s at least what I’ve heard. I want to like smaller run games but to be honest this game seemed boring and the parts look horrible printed emblems on them would’ve made it look more appealing.

They probably should’ve made a home-brew video game with this.

@Gargantua:

Conflict of Zero’s?

LMAO !!

Has anyone played either of the games in the Conflict of Heroes series? If so, what do you think of the game play compared to the A&A series?

If you want a good Vietnam board game, try out Vietnam 1965-1975.

It is a hex based game, using counters for playing pieces. The game is from the 80’s and you’ll find it on Ebay.

For sure, no game depicts the vietnam war better - with hidden units, ho chi minh infiltration routes.

Beware though, that the Grand Campaign 65-75 takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to play. However, there exist about a dozen smaller scenarios (like the Tet offensive amongst others).
