This makes me so happy! This game is my childhood. Is it up and running with a multiplayer server? i played it a bunch about 3 years ago and now im checking in again.
Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).
Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.
As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.
How many of ya’ll play ‘Fortress America?’ I play this game which was released with Axis and Allies in the game master series and is quite popular. It was printed extensively in the 1980’s and reprinted in 2012. If any of you want to see the added section under other games upvote and/or comment, thanks.

I almost hate to bring this up, but I’ve been playing an “on line” server game for a few months now called, “Travian”. And am curious to know who else here is or has been playing this real time Strategy game. :?
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).
