I think part of it is distance from the event. Vietnam is now mostly something people read about in history books, not something people have either direct or one-degree knowledge about. Makes it easier to wargame - we can ignore some of the worst bits of the conflict (or make them "bloodless", as it were)

Yes , it the right time to do Vietnam , at least for me. When Platoon and Full Metal Jacket were shown in the cinemas i wouldn't have thought about gaming Vietnam for a minute, but now a big yes.
