Question: Vietnam War computer games

Do any strategy / pseudo-strategy computer games exist for the Vietnam War? Or are they all just shoot-em-ups?

I found a couple that look they would be up your alley, see here and here.

Some enterprising soul made a Vietnam mod for the turn-based combat game Jagged Alliance 2. It's rather fiendishly difficult.

The two above are your best bet. i've heard good stuff about War over Vietnam.

Shrapnel released Forgotten Heroes: Vietnam a while back but it's out of print.

The War Engine has a few mods that add in vietnam era units, but that might be a little off the wall for you.

If you want non-strategy games, Wings Over Vietnam is quite good once you patch/mod it. Check the SimHQ Forum for info on that,

Maddox Games is also working on a Vietnam era helicopter sim. Screenshots here.
