<p>The Men of War franchise is heading for greener rice paddies with <strong>Men of War: Vietnam</strong>. While there's no official announcement just yet, Strategy Informer does have some <a href="http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/menofwarvietnam/screenshots.html" target="_blank">screenshots</a> and Rock Paper Shotgun has some <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/06/04/surf-this-charlie-men-of-war-vietnam/" target="_blank">early impressions</a>.</p><blockquote><p>Alas none of the VC side of the game was on show, but I did get to dabble with a level from the US campaign. Visually it didn’t look notably better than MoW, but the change to tall, dense trees certainly gave it a new look. The trees can be used as semi-cover throughout, which enabled some canny ambushing techniques. The VCs seemed a little better at in than me, darting about with lethal efficiency, but I suspect once I’m accustomed to thinking cover-cover-cover at all times the balance will even out.
