Overview
1965, Vietnam. Step into the shoes of an administrative officer, not a soldier on the front lines, in "12 Months: Vietnam." Your battlefield is the paperwork, your mission to keep a platoon alive on paper. This minimalist yet emotionally resonant military simulation, developed by AlphaSixGames, draws inspiration from historical statistics, period-accurate military organization, and the stark realities of wartime casualty patterns. The core gameplay revolves around making critical decisions that dictate who deploys, who rests, who gets promoted, who goes home, and tragically, who becomes a permanent entry in a personnel file.
