I've finished the VC campaign (to overstate 5 skirmish missions) and most of the US campaign (similar number of minor missions) and I'd strongly recommened you not to pay the full price for this game.
MOW:Vietnam is a handful of skirmish missions where the enemy AI has been made stupidly hard even on easy setting by the devs to string out the length of the missions. If I'd paid $5 on Steam as some DLC I'd have been OK, paying the price of a full-price game is just wrong.
Don't expect any of the huge maps with hundreds of units and an involved mission story line. There is none of that here. Every mission is just 4-6 men wandering about a few checkpoints and killing a few enemies. Expect to need to save and reload and reload and reload and reload because for some reason they have made your guys die to one shot and the enemy have x-ray vision and atomic-powered weapons. All this on maps covered in foliage and so you can't see your own units never mind the enemy.
Expect MOW:V to be in the bargain bin in a few weeks time and pay no more that $5.
