What is Radio Commander: Vietnam '64?

In this single-player tactical strategy game, you play a U.S. Army commander coordinating operations during the Vietnam War. Across campaign missions, you direct units by radio, request reports, and track their reported positions with markers and notes on a map instead of seeing the battlefield directly.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy making tactical decisions from incomplete reports
  • +you like story-driven military campaigns and radio dialogue

Not for you if...

  • −you want flexible missions rather than a scripted campaign
  • −you prefer seeing battles unfold directly on screen
