Description

No Trumpets No Drums: The Vietnam War 1965-1975 is a strategic level wargame that drops you into the midst of one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the Communist states and guerrilla armies of South-east Asia or the pro-Western and neutral states and forces, along with their American allies, as you engage in a high-stakes game of political and military maneuvering for control over Indochina. With a playtime of 240 minutes, this game is designed for those who are willing to dive deep into the intricacies of war strategy, but don't worry if you're familiar with board games - the rules are of normal complexity, making it accessible to most players. The game takes place over a hexagon grid, with dice rolling determining the outcomes of your battles, adding an element of unpredictability to each encounter. You can choose from a variety of scenarios, including the Tet Offensive, the Easter Offensive, and the American Build-Up, each offering a unique perspective on the conflict. With a large map and over 260 counters, the game provides an immersive experience that will keep you engaged for hours. First published in 1982, No Trumpets No Drums has stood the test of time, offering a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the Vietnam War that's just as relevant today as it was back then.
