After a successful launching of The ‘Nam: Vietnam Combat Operations computer game by Filipino Tiger Yan, another one is set to excite the fans.

Yan thought that after creating the game about the Vietnam War, it would be amazing if he can include the neighboring countries in the expansion game specifically Laos and Cambodia.

“Wider War expands the coverage of the game from just Vietnam, to the neighboring countries affected by the war, such as Laos and Cambodia. It also covers the wars Vietnam fought with China and Cambodia,” said Yan.

In his expansion series game Wider War, Yan will add more features to the Vietnam Combat Operations.

What happened in South Vietnam back in 1975, the killing field of Cambodia, the Laos and Lima Site 85, and the Sino-Vietnamese War will all be covered.

Those who fell in love with The ‘Nam’s release will surely give more attention to Wider War as it offers vast game options where you have the freedom to choose from the South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos setting.

Also, the game will offer seven new maps that will make the expansion game more exciting and more troop units specific to the new places were added by Yan.

The Wider War game expansion is now available for free download and can be checked in the following sites: Mod DB or Gamepedia.
