HPS Simulations has released "War over Vietnam", the first in the Modern Air Power Series.

War Over Vietnam is a tactical/operational air power simulation which features an extremely detailed and accurate modeling of the air war in Vietnam. Electronic warfare, to include jamming, plays a large role in leading a successful strike into the thick North Vietnamese air defenses.
