The Fall of South Vietnam, subtitled A Game of Combat in South Vietnam - 1973-1975, is a two-player board wargame published by Yaquinto Publications in 1981. It simulates the final campaigns of the Vietnam War, from the reduction of American support after the Paris Peace Accords through the North Vietnamese offensives that led to the fall of Saigon in 1975, with one player commanding North Vietnamese forces and the other South Vietnamese defenders across the country's provinces. The design emphasizes territorial control and logistics, including a desertion mechanic that thins South Vietnamese ranks as North Vietnamese forces advance, and plays out over an alternating turn sequence across eight game turns.
