Slitherine Group has begun closed beta testing of Vietnam '65 for those interested in checking out this Vietnam War-based strategy game for Windows and iPad, saying those selected "will be able experience Vietnam ’65 before release and help us with the final touches, ensuring a smooth release later this year." If you want to register, you can do so though this page where they have signups for each platform. Word is this game attempts to capture the propaganda war as well as the military conflict this entailed:

Early 1965 – Regular US military units are deployed on Vietnamese soil. The American government sends massive support to South Vietnam to prevent the Viet Cong forces from the North unifying the entire country under the Communist banner. This Cold War conflict was not only fought with classic weapons, but also with unconventional tactics in order to gain support from civilians.

Vietnam ’65, the new game developed by Every Single Soldier, aims to capture this unique warfare duality. This is why the players’ main task is not to crush their opponent as they usually do in other strategy games, but to win the hearts and minds of the local population! Their main focus will be to plan and execute counter-insurgency operations so that they will prevent villages falling under Viet Cong influence. Thanks to a refined AI and a randomly generated campaign map, players should be ready to face tough and surprising challenges!
