Squad Battles - Vietnam
- Tour of Duty is the second game in the Squad Battles Series and continues from the original game Squad Battles Vietnam. In addition to over 40 scenarios, Tour of Duty has a Campaign Game, the first in the Squad Battles series to do so, which enables the player to assume the role of a leader and fight multiple battles over the course of a year in Vietnam. There are 5 campaigns with Tour of Duty including American Army, American Marine, American Air Cavalry, American Army Riverine, and Australian.
Although it uses a common game engine, Tour of Duty is a complete game and independent of Squad Battles Vietnam. Either can be installed and played without the other. However, PBEM and network games require that both players have the same game being played, Vietnam or Tour of Duty, and scenario and battles are not interchangable between the games.
Tour of Duty contains multiple enhancements to the Squad Battles game engine including Caves and Tunnels, Smoke and Illumination, and several enhancements and new features not found in the original Squad Battles Vietnam.
Tour of Duty includes American Army, American Marine, South Vietnamese, South Korean, Australian, North Vietnamese, and Viet Cong forces and equipment. Scenarios cover a wide variety of situations including many on air and armor cavalry.
