I enjoy the game. Its nice to take some time away from RT games... to tn based.. .. Vietnam always interested me.. as I served with Quite a few Vets.
honestly love this game, i don't have any negative thing to say about it. If you think this game didn't have enough logistics in it check out Afghanistan '11. Wish the developer's current games were as good as this one, i don't know why they just keep getting worse and worse.
