After activating some of your units (with a die roll and depending on your turn), you will play an event card from your hand. The activated units can then move and attack. Battles are resolved by special dice rolls, which determine enemy losses and the number of units that must retreat. The event cards are what gives the game its great re-playability.
The game is highly asymmetrical, with the North Vietnam player having more activations, more events to his advantage, better battle dice, and the ability to conduct assaults on a very wide front, while his opponent has air support as well as parachute and mechanized units.
There’s also a solo mode that allows you to play as the South Vietnam forces as they attempt to resist the onslaught of an automated enemy, guided by specific cards.
