Fire in the Lake - Fall of Saigon, 1972-1975

"Fire in the Lake: Fall of Saigon, 1972-1975" expands the story of the Vietnam War, continuing the saga from the Paris Peace Accords through to the final collapse of South Vietnam. In this compelling expansion to the award-winning "Fire in the Lake" game, players experience the last years of the war as the Communists prepare their final push, while the South Vietnamese army—among the world’s most well-equipped—tries to hold the line. The North, led by Le Duc Tho, sees the ceasefire as a mere tool in their quest for unification, while President Thieu of South Vietnam braces for inevitable conflict after the withdrawal of US forces. Meanwhile, the US faces uncertainty under Ford's leadership following the Nixon era's turmoil.

Designed by Mark Herman and Volko Ruhnke, "Fall of Saigon" features three new scenarios for 1-4 players, each offering a unique perspective on the war’s concluding years. Players can relive the 1972 Easter Offensive or take the war all the way to the bitter end in 1975, with options for shorter or longer play. The standalone 2-player Black April scenario focuses on the intense NVA-ARVN battles after the Paris Peace Accords, bringing a concentrated tactical experience to the game’s already rich strategic depth.
