As the infantry units disembarked, the VOM 06 pilots Reported "Oh my GOD, they are erupting from the ground! There are hundreds of them!". Unknown to the marines was that this was the home of the 1st VC MF regiment. In support of the marines a second battalion was inserted just south of Xuan Hoa 1 in an LZ that had just been neutralized by arty and air bombings. Waiting for them was another VC battalion with heavy MG's and AA guns.
29.8-11-05: Plei Me was a SF camp that the NVA overran http://webzoom.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Plei Me 1.zip (this one is a luck of the dice to a certain degree. In test play Jumbo's disrupted NVA stragglers were able to disrupt my bunkered US forces while I hit him with everything including the kitchen sink and could not get him out of the bunkers.) and while setting up the ARVN reenforcements for an ambush had the tables turned on them.
30. 9-9-05 http://webzoom.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/plei me ambush F&B.zip : This is the 2nd day of the battle where reenforcements coming in from the north to relieve the SF Camp where ambushed along the road. Since there are no VP points the win/loss values are set to make both sides work for a win.

34.1-31-05: Con Thien: FB Con Thien was a SF camp just south of the DMZ which had been turned over to the 3 Marines. During July 1967, the camp and surrounding areas were repeatedly attacked by 2 NVA divisions over a 14 day period. During a 2 hour period morning of July 5th alone over 128 arty strikes and 28 sorties were flow in support of the battle. Napalm was dropped in as close as 50 meters. The resulting body count after 14 days was over 1250 NVA KIA, 53 marines dead, and over 350 marines wounded. This is a linked series of 4 scn's:

35.2-15-05: Firebase Rockpile, 25km West of Dong Ha, Quang Tri province, I CTZ (Best played as USMC). During Operation Hastings in July 1966, the U.S. Marines repelled NVA Division 324B's invasion of Quang Tri Province and forced the division to withdraw into the DMZ. But in the first week of August American intelligence discovered that 324B was moving back into Quang Tri and establishing fortified positions in the jungle-covered western mountains. The enemy's goal was to capture the Rockpile and launch an assault on Quang Tri's populous coastal region. The marines immediately responded to the threat. On August 3, the day he ended Hastings, Brigadier General Lowell English, commander of the 3d Marine Division, launched Operation Prairie. In Prairie eleven marine battalions (nearly eleven thousand men) would face the same opposition and the same kind of combat as they had in Hastings. Their objective was also unchanged: preventing 324B from gaining a foothold below the DMZ for an attack on South Vietnam's northernmost provinces. The longest, fiercest fight in Prairie took place in late September, when General English decided to attack the elaborate fortifications being constructed by 324B along a ridge known as Nui Cay Tre. Hills 400 and 484 were the marines objectives in the battle for Mutter Ridge, named after the radio call signal of the 3rd battalion, 4th Marines. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/mutters ridge.zip (F&B)
36.5-31-05: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Donnie Boy F&B.zip 3/9th Marines were repeated sent in to the Nui Don Soc Forest and Mountain area to seek and destroy several Rocket Launchers targeting Firebase Vanderbilt also know as FSB Stud. On one of these mission (several lasting as much as a month in the bush), lance corporal Donald Curtis (AKA Danny Boy Curtis) was sent with a small squad of 6 others to secure a ravine that the NVA were thought to try and come up in order to flank a 2 company force of marines holding a LZ. The NVA fainted an attack at the LZ and launch a Battalion sized force up the ravine. Donny held his position with all but 2 othes lost. He too would loose his life in the last minutes of the battle but be awarded the Navy Cross posthumously.
37.5-15-05: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/SFB Ripcord.zip (F&B) In the spring of 1970 the US established FSB Ripcord as part of a support platform for the upcoming offensives scheduled along the Loatian border. However the NVA seized the initiative that summer and encircled Ripcord and its defenders. Due to intense political pressure FSB Ripcord was evacuated and destroyed. How long can you hold it? From a points perspective if the NVA take the FSB Ripcord Command bunker the US has lost.
38.5-15-05: Binh Son: On April 21, 1967 Company F 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, commanded by Captain Gene A. Deegan, spotted a large NVA force entering this village. The Marines pursued the enemy but were stopped cold by concentrated automatic weapons fire. Air strikes and artllery were leveled on the defenders entrenched in the village but they were in previously well-prepared bunkers so the ordnance had little effect. According to the plan of attack Companies I and M of the 3rd Battalion 1st Marines were helilifted into an LZ 1,500 meters north of Binh Son (1). The landings were contested by waiting NVA but the Marines battled their way to Company F's location. Later in the afternoon elements of the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines landed to the east of Binh Son and advanced westward towards the fight. That evening the remaining companies of the 1st Battalion 1st Marines arrived at the base at Nui Loc Son and despite the darkness were immediately moved to the battle area. The fighting continued all the next day with the Marines calling in air strikes and artillery and attacking em masse. They drove the NVA from the village and then called in more tactical air and artillery to pound the now exposed emeny infantry. (F&B) http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Binh Son.zip

40. 7-21-05: Day 1: Foward Artillery Observer with units of the 75th Ranger were to accompany 1st CAV armor and infantry to a ravine of the Song Hai to search and destroy NVA Infantry harrassing the CSB Red Devil with 107 Motar fire. The group was called Task Force (TF) Remagen. The TF had not seen any NVA encounters for over a week when on the evening of MAR 12 they set up on the bank of Song Hai. The Armor commander allowed his soldiers who had not bathed for a week to bathe int he river. CPT Arrowood held back his Ranges and warned the LTC that a single NVA with a MG could take easily take out all the units in the river. The LTC under as false sense of security due to a Duster support platoon accompaning him told the good CPT not to worry. Although nothing happened that evening the next morning NVA sprang on them with heavy MG fire and RPG's. A platoon of Sheridans and a Duster was lost. The LTC lost face realizing his whole TF could have been wiped out the night before. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Remagen Day 1 F&B.zip41. 8-4-05: Day2: During the next day LTC Mulhouse moved his armor to a high platue the other side of the road. The NVA having destroyed the Duster support units and an APC with RPG 7's boldly crossed the river to try and destroy the remaining taskforce. The FAO called in Napalm and air support to try and push them back. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Remagen Day 2 F&B.zip
42. 8-11-05: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/xuan-f.zip - Battle for Xaun Loc: In one of the bloodiest battles of the entire 2nd Indochina War, the ARVN turned in an incredible performance during the 1975 NVA Final offensive when the soldiers of the ARVN 8th Infantry Division held the town of Xuan Loc after being attacked by four NVA divisions using Soviet-built T-54 tanks to spearhead the assault. In the minth-long battle, the ARVN managed to completely destroy 3 of the 4 attacking divisions and dozens of T-54 tanks before finally being overrun. In the battle they were using U.S. supplied TOW missles for the first time against the NVA armor and they did an excellent job. They were supported by U.S. Cobra gunships also firing TOW missles and the Snakes accounted for many more tanks destroyed. But when Xuan Loc fell, there was nothing between the NVA and Siagon
43. 8-20-05: The valley through which Laotian Highway 922 was a major NVA infiltration route from one of the Ho Chi Minh Trail's main north-south arteries. This area was MACV-SOG target Echo Eight. SOG recon teams were inserted along this highway to monitor and interdict NVA truck convoys heading for Vietnam Highway 548, which turned south and ran the length of the A Shau Valley. The area was heavily infested with NVA troops and every SOG insertion resulted in a fierce fights. Tough one for the US: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Echo 8 F&B.zip

Upon termination of Operation Texas, 3rd / 5th ARVN Inf Reg remained in Vin Loc hamlet where they had to repluse several VC and NVA attacks in the weeks that followed. On the morning of March 17th, 1966 the ARVN were almost over run. This is a scn of their epic battle: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Indiana Arvn - F&B.zip
48. 8-27-05: Operation Indiana: On the morning of the 28th the NVA launched a major offensive and the ARVN requested assistance via the Senior ARVN advisor. The decision was made to send in the 1st/7th Marines. This would become the start of Operation Indiana and what would lead to several deadly engagements: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Indian Rescue F&B.zip
49: 8-31-05: Battle for Black Virgin Mountain: Located in the Tay Ninh province, is Nui Ba Den which translates to Black Virgin Mountain. Also known as Hill 986. The mountain was an important radio relay site and it was called "Retrans" (as in re-transmission) as a result. It was never completely cleared of NVA/VC who periodically attacked the summit where the radio relay site was located or units moving up and down the mountain. NVA 88th Regiment was reported to have occupied caves on the upper slopes of the mountain and were using it as their own radio relay site. The valley belonged to the ARVN during the day and the 2nd and 21st NVA MF Regiments at night. The mountain (a dormant volcano) was 3,000 feet above sea level at the summit and located in the middle of otherwise flat terrain (around if gor 60 miles) it rose abruptly as can be seen on the chart. It was therefore a much used landmark for navigation, both ground and air. This map cannot due it justice as it had 45 degree slopes, not trails, and was solid rock in places making climbing it a bitch. Oct 15th 1965 elements of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade would try to get the NVA out and this would become known as the Battle for the Black Virgin and mark the start of Operation Attleboro. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Black Virgin F&B.zip
50. 9-15-05: Doom on Dak Seang: This is about the Dak Seang SF Camp of 12 SF and 200 Mike force members trying to keep Hwy 14 clear that was hit and over-run by the 101 NVA Inf Reg on 28 AUG 68. It was hit again numerous times and overrun in 1970. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Dak Seang F&B.zip
51. 9-20-05: Operation Union Day 1: During April and May of 67 the US using 1/5th Marines and 1/3rd Marines with ARVN support launched 2 major operations to clean the VC/NVA out of Que Song Valley. 1st of 2 days. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Union 1 F&B.zip

56. 9-29-05: Operation Union 2 (May 26th), Battles at LZ Eagle. This was a ugly battle where Air Cav got dropped on what they thought was a safe LZ and ended up in a very ugly ambush after the 4th chopper touched down and others were coming in. It caused heavy US casualties. I have also taken the liberty of expanding the date line to included a attack on the northern hamlets which were actually a few days later but add to playability. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Union 2 May 26 F&B.zip
57. 10-12-05: Operation Kingfisher- The Marines launched Operation Kingfisher on July 17, 1967. The objective was to find, fix, fight, and finish any NVA found in the DMZ south of the Ben Hai River. Five battalions from the 3rd Marines and 9th Marines along with one platoon of M-48 tanks, three ONTOS vehicles, three tracked amphibious vehicles, and engineers for support. The plan was to road march north on route 606 to the Ben Hai River then turn around and sweep back toward Con Thien. On 27 July 1967 they prepared to turn around and exit the area the same way they has come in. The Marines had little choice since the tracked vehicles were essentially road-bound in this terrain. Less than an hour after beginning the road march the NVA detonated a 250 lb bomb rigged as a command detonated mine. Following the intial shock of the mine the NVA followed up with heavy RPD and AK-47 fire while lobbing accurate 60mm and 82mm mortar rounds in the column. The accompanying infantry units were forced to provide security for the tracked vehicles. The battle raged through the day and into the night. During the night the NVA, realizing that daylight would bring the full fury of U.S. supporting arms down on them withdrew from the field leaving 32 bodies although it is estimated that over 375 were actually KIA. The Marines suffered 23 KIA, and 251 WIA. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Route 606 F&B.zip

65. 11-18-05: Battle for FSB 31 (FEB 25). To strengthen the security of Fire Support Base 31, which was a more important position and seemed to be more heavily threatened because it housed the 3d Airborne Brigade headquarters, plans were made to helilift the 6th Airborne Battalion to a mountain range northwest of the base on 13 February. This mountain range controlled a valley running a south-easterly course to Fire Support Base 31 and the valley was the source for attacks by fire against friendly positions. At 1100 hours on 25 February, Fire support Base 31 received massive attacks by fire, including fire from 130-mm field guns. At 1300 hours, the 31st Company to the south reported enemy armored movements. The base responded with artillery fire and called for artillery support from Fire Support Bases 30 and A Luoi. The forward air controller's aircraft (FAC 229) was not in the air because of a confusion in grid coordinates and did not arrive until 1400 hours. By that time, fire from small weapons was being received from all directions and enemy tanks had reached the southern perimeter of the base. The first flight of fixed wing tactical aircraft to reach the base destroyed a number of enemy tanks on the spot and held back the armored thrust against the southern perimeter. At 1520 hours, an estimated 20 tanks supported by enemy infantry troops moved in from the northwest and the east. At precisely the same time, an F-4 aircraft was hit and erupted in flames but the pilot ejected. The Hammer FAC aircraft left its position to direct effort to rescue the U.S. pilot, interrupting air support for Fire Support Base 31. After a fierce artillery barrage, the enemy assaulted. At that time, a helicopter of the advisory team for the Airborne Division was the only aircraft flying overhead. It turned its M-60 machinegun fire on the enemy but it was in vain! Artillery from A Luoi and Fire Support Base 30 continued to fire in support but could not stop the enemy tanks attacking on the hill slopes. Forty minutes later, the base was overrun. It is possible that had the FAC remained on station above the battle that U.S. airpower could have been employed to hold the firebase. A number of airborne troops managed to break out but the commanders of the 3d Airborne Brigade and 3d Artillery Battalion were captured by the enemy. The weather thereafter worsened and aircraft could not provide support. ARVN losses at Fire Support Base 31 were 155 killed and missing with a corresponding number of individual weapons and six 105-mm howitzers: http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/ 31 f&b.zip
66. 11-23-05: FSB Sandy was located on the Dun Cat Sand Dunes and supported Quang Tri Province Ops. During Sept it was Commanded by CPT Arrowood who found the FBS a shambles and moral low. NVA elite enginer and sapper companies were to attack the FSB but could not do so before CPT Arrowood shore up the defenses. with 10 ft burms all around the camp and new modular bunkers from the 101 Airborne Div. The attack happened as a company of the 1st Cav was in camp and provided gaurd support. The resulting fight cost the NVA over 56 dead, unknown wounded and 100+ small arms captured. The US suffered 3 KIA, 12 wounded, and the ammo bunker was destroyed 12 hours lated due to a satchel charge with delayed fuse place by NVA. CPT Arrowood received the soliers medal for his efforts to save 2 enlisted in the burning bunker and suffering great burns to himself. The NVA mission is to cature the ammo bunker and HQ bunker. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/!!sandy f&B.zip
67. 12-1-05: Plei Me was a SF camp that the NVA overran Plei Me1 in final above.

68. 12-1-05: Operation BUBBA... a interesting hypothetical scn involving marine expeditionary landing force and recon teams securing coastal areas and moving inland to link up with a Marine FSB. Note: Hint = For NVA to be successful they need to be mobile and move fast. This is a fun scn and well balanced. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Bubba F&B.zip69. 12-11-05: Nui Vu Extraction: On June 13, 1966 Just after midnight on June 16, the NVA struck the 18-man recon team and a furious battle erupted. Howard called for artillery, close air support, and helicopter gunship runs but the enemy still managed to launch three attacks on the small force. By dawn six of the team were dead, and the remaining twelve were all wounded. When ammo ran low the Marines threw rocks at the NVA. FInally Company C 1st Battalion 5th Marines was helilifted to the base of Nui Vu and they fought their way up the mountain to link up with Team 2, which became the most decorated unit of the Vietnam War. The Silver Star Medal was awarded to 15 members of the team, two were awarded the Navy Cross, and Howard was awarded the Medal Of Honor. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Nui Vu extraction F&B.zip
70. 12-20-05: 28. Nui Vu Insersion: On June 13, 1966 a Marine recon team from the 1st Reconnaisance Battalion, code named "Team 2", was inserted onto Hill 488, also knowna as Nui Vu, to gather intelligence information on enemy location and strength in the area surrounding the Que Son Valley region as part of Operation Kansas. From the moment they were inserted Team 2 observed numerous enemy formations transiting the region. The Team leader, Staff Sergeant Jimmy L. Howard called in artillery fire from a U.S. Army Special Forces CIDG camp seven kilometers to the south (Camp Tien Phuoc, Detachment A-102 at BT 114-139 in Quang Tin province). Despite the fact that Howard only called a fire mission when there was an aircraft overhead, in an attempt to create the illusion that the artillery was being adjusted from the air and not by a recon team nearby, the NVA suspected the truth and began searching. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Nui Vu Insersion F&B.zip
71. 1-06-06: "Soui Tre, also known as Fire Support Base (FSB) Gold, began at 0430 hours on 21 March. At that time a night patrol from Company B, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry operating just outside the 2nd Battalion, 77th Artillery’s camp reported movement in front of and around their ambush position. However, no further movement was detected and at 0630 the patrol prepared to return to camp. One minute later FSB Gold came under heavy enemy 60mm and 82mm mortar attack and the 3rd Platoon ambush patrol was attacked by a large Viet cong force. Within five minutes the patrol was overrun, and all personnel were killed or wounded. At 0635 a Reconnaissance Patrol from 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry engaged a large Viet cong force which had approached within 35 meters of the camp’s southeast perimeter. shortly thereafter the entire perimeter came under attack by waves of Viet cong firing recoilless rifles, RPG-2 rocket launchers, automatic weapons, and small arms. The heaviest attacks were concentrated on the northeastern and southeastern portions of the battalion defensive perimeter around the FSB. As the attack increased, the three artillery batteries of the 2/77th Artillery began firing counter-mortar fire in an effort to neutralize the heavy Viet Cong mortar concentrations which continued to pound the entire US camp. During the final assault, Company B reported that 1st platoon positions on the southeast perimeter had been penetrated and that a reaction force was needed to reinforce that sector. Soldiers from the 2/77th Artillery responded to the call rushing to the perimeter to help repulse the continuing enemy attacks. At 0700 the first of the Forward Air controllers (FAC) arrived overhead in )1-E light observation aircraft. He immediately began directing Air Force air strikes against the attacking hordes of Viet Cong. At the same time supporting fire from two batteries of 105mm howitzers located at forward FSB’s nearby was brought within 100 meters of the battalion perimeter. At 0711, Company B reported that it’s 1st Platoon had been surrounded and overrun by a human wave attack. Airstrikes were called in all along the eastern woodline to relieve the pressure on Company B’s perimeter. The FAC directing these strikes was shot down by heavy automatic weapons fire. At 0752, the Company b commander requested that 2/77th Artillery fire "beehive" rounds into the southeastern and southern sections of his perimeter. At 0756, Company B reported that complete Viet Cong penetration had been made in the 1st platoon sector and that they were desperate for ammunition re-supply. Ammunition and a 20 man reaction force from company A were sent to Company B. At 0813, the northeastern section was also overrun with another human wave attack. At 0815, Company A, which had established a night ambush position just outside the perimeter, charged into the camp’s perimeter. Somehow all the personnel had managed to elude the surrounding Viet Cong. At 0818, Company A’s commander reported that the Viet Cong had penetrated the northern section of the perimeter. Ten minutes later a quad .50 machine gun located in the northern sector of the camp was hit by RPG-2 rocket rounds and its crew killed. As the attacking Viet Cong swarmed over the weapon and attempted to turn it on GI positions the gun was blown apart by a well place round from the 105mm howitzer crew who had witnessed the whole action from their position some 75 meters away. By 0840 the northeastern, eastern, and southeastern portions of the perimeter had withdrawn to a secondary defensive position around the guns of the artillery batteries. The northern, western , and southern sectors had managed to hold firm despite intense pressure from from large numbers of Viet Cong who had advanced within 15-20 meters of the defensive positions. The attacking guerillas were within hand grenade range of the battalion command post, and were only five meters from the battalion aid station. To counter this new threat, the remaining howitzers of the 2/77th Artillery began firing "Beehive" rounds into the attacking Viet Cong. Air strikes were brought in within 50 meters of US positions and supporting 105mm and 155mm batteries threw up a continuous wall of high explosives around the battalion perimeter. When the 2/77th Artillery had exhausted its supply of "beehive" rounds, they began to fire high explosive rounds at point blank range. By 0830 the situation had worsened. The northern, western, and southern sectors of the perimeter were still under intense Viet Cong pressure. The northeastern. Southeastern and eastern perimeters had been pulled in even closer, and we were still undergoing Viet Cong human wave attacks. At 0900, a relief column from the 2.12th Infantry were able to counter attack and re-establish the original perimeter. The Viet Cong continued their mass attacks, many of them advancing wearing bandages from earlier wounds. Some of the enemy, so badly wounded that they couldn’t walk, were carried piggyback into the assaults by their comrades. At 0912, a mechanized infantry and armor column from teh2/22nd Infantry and 2/34th Armor broke through the jungle from the southwest. With their 90mm guns firing canister rounds, and all machine guns blazing, they swept into the advancing Viet Cong, chopping them down by the score. Shortly thereafter, the guerillas began to withdraw and by 1045, the Battle of Soui Tre was over. The crack 272nd main force Viet Cong Regiment had been decimated, leaving behind 647 bodies. Documents found intimate showed that intensive planning had been made by the Viet Cong before the attack. The elite 272nd, one of the best organized and equipped guerilla units, was finished as an effective fighting force. It had been long known for its fighting ability and was one of the few Viet Cong units that would engage in daylight attacks. Its troops had been scattered in a disorganized rout as artillery and air strikes pounded at their heels. Nine Viet Cong were captured, and an arsenal of over 150 weapons of all types were collected. Huge piles of enemy equipment, clothing, and documents were collected and evacuated. During th ebattle,2,200 rounds of US artillery was fired and a total of 57 air strikes supported the action. American casualties were 31 KIA and 109 wounded." 25th Aviation AAR http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Gold F&B.zip
72. 1-06-06: 3/9th Marines were repeated sent in to the Nui Don Soc Forest and Mountain area to seek and destroy several Rocket Launchers targeting Firebase Vanderbilt also know as FSB Stud. During JUN of 68, the NVA launched a massive 3 regiment assault on SFB Stud. FSB Stud was only defended with reserve units as the main bulk of forces were out on S&D missions on the rocket launchers. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Stud F&B.zip
73. 1-06-06: This is on I picked up on the history channel and it is about a Marine Captain assigned to a ARVN advisory position who when the NVA rolled through the Macknamera line determined that the only thing between Saignon and the NVA armor was a bridge below the DMZ. He called Saigon for permission to blow it but no one in authority wanted to make that call so 4 hours later he commendiered 2 ARVN tanks, rolled to the bridge, and blew it using C4. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Tanks F&B.zip
74 1-06-06: This is part of operation Crimp involving the 2nd and 28th US Infantry Divisions supported by the Royal Austrialian Reg just west of the Iron Triangle. This area was heavily infested with NVA and VC at full divisional strengths. Prior to this Operation tunnels had not be discovered in mass or as use as underground cities by the NVA. This find would end up redefining the US strategy in VN. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/ Hobo F&B.zip
75. 1-8-06: The 2/47th Mech Inf Bn, 1st Brigade, 9th Inf Div conducted this operation to prevent rocket attacks on the Bien Hoa-Long Binh complex. This operation was combined with the 199th LIB's Operation UNIONTOWN on 17 Nov 67. They were met by a force of not less than 2 full NVA Divisions (the 7th VC and 9th NVA MF). http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/strike F&B.zip
76. 1-16-06. Operation Lam Son 719 was a major ARVN /US operation to break the NVA supply lines via a push into Laos. US involvement was major in taking back and holding Route 9 and the surrounding FSB's including Khe Sahn. It led to one of the major armor clashes of the war with NVA 202 Armor Reg clashing with US 1st Armor battalions supporting ARVN at the base of FSB 31. FSB 31 was eventually lost and retaken by 101 Airborn units. 101 Airborn would also support ARNV Rangers and Armor in Laos leading to a major stateside uproar. This is a 4 scn set starting with FSB 31 above. Here are the other 3:

77. 1-26-06: Filhol Rubber: With the coming of May, the Golden Dragons closed their Battalion perimeter outside of Cu Chi and moved to a new defensive perimeter in the Filhol Rubber Plantation, near the village of Phu Hoa Dong. The village had served as a resupply point for NVA units infiltrating into the city of Saigon by way of the Saigon River. Ambush patrols engaged enemy units nearly every night and the harried NVA Regulars soon discovered that the thick, overgrown wasteland that had once been the great rubber plantation no longer afforded a sanctuary against the American Infantryman. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Filhol F&B.zip (note: be careful to watch observe the whole map or you could get surprised).
78: 2-1-06: Into the Spider's Web: On 30 April, the Battalion participated in waterborne operations on the Saigon River. After months of heliborne operations, the use of landing craft as a mode of transportation proved to be unique in itself. Coming ashore in the vicinity of the "Spider Web" (XT755175), all maneuver companies initiated a comprehensive search which led to the discovery of 23 122mm rockets. The expeditions proceeded with only minor results until 1500 hrs, when Companies B and C came under intense enemy small arms and RPG fire. During the fighting that ensued, the two companies suffered 5 US KIA and 13 US WIA. Being hampered by the growing darkness, all elements withdrew from the area of contact until the following morning when a sweep of the area revealed a 4 VC KIA (body count) and 1 VC WIA (POW). http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Toan F&B.zip
79: 2-3-06: Hill 407: On December 10, 1965, Company F 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines were helilifted into an LZ 1,500 meters nortwest of this hill near the village of Cam La. The Marines were immediately taken under heavy 12.7mm fire from Hill 407. The Marines suffered 20 dead and 80 wounded as a result of this accurate fire. After being reinforced by Company E 2nd Battalion 7th Marines hill was taken without further incident as the NVA had wisely withdrawn. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Hill 407 F&B.zip
80: 2-18- 06 Operation Attleboro was one of the largest of the Viet Nam Conflict. Phase one started around 2 Sept 66 and lasted until early Nov. It involved the largest airmobile op of the war with 25th Av BTN supporting the newly arrived 196th Light Inf Btn, units of the 1st and the 4th Inf Div's, the 173 ABN Bde, and numerous ARVN Btn's. In all over 22,00o US ARVN forces staged out of Tay Ninh took part. In Phase 1 most of the fighting took place on the eastern edge and Michelin rubber plantation. The US had to pay for any damaged trees and it limited the use of arty. The NVA had little to no AA support so most of the fighting was after the US was in and withdrawing from an area. In all over 1000 NVA would be killed and another 455 wounded along with 2 million lbs of rice, 481 claymore mines, 2300 chinese grenades, , 80 rockets, 25 HMG's, 116 bicycles, and over 1000 small arms captured.http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Attleboro 1 F&B.zip

82: 2-18-06: Dodge 1: Battle for Xuan Dai 2: Located at in the Quang Nam province, I Corps. Site of May 9, 1968 battle between Companies E and A of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines 1st Marine Division and a VC force. The Marines suffered 1 dead and 11 wounded while accounting for 80 enemy dead. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Dodge 1 F&B.zip
83: 3-1-06: Dodge 2: Doom on Phu Dong: On May 16, 1968 battle between Companies A of the 1st Battalion and G of the 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, together with Company I, 3d Battalion, 27th Marines and an MF and Marine NVA force. The Marines called in over 50 close air support missions and used extensive artillery and mortar fire missions on the entrenched NVA. The Marines suffered 25 dead and 38 wounded while accounting for 134 enemy dead. After overrunning the fortifications the Marines discovered that the village was an NVA Regimental Headquarters and supply depot. There were so many supplies the Marines were unable to evacuate them to the rear and blew them in place. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Dodge 2 F&B.zip
84: 3-1-06: Dodge 3: Looting Le Nam: May 17, 1968 battle between Companies A of the 1st Battalion and G of the 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, together with Company I, 3d Battalion, 27th Marines and an NVA force.

85: 3-1-06:Dodge 4: Marine to Am Tram Rescue: Companies K and L of the 3rd Battalion, 27th Marines conducted a combat assualt into this location to relieve pressure on Marines attacking Le Nam (2) on May 17, 1968. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Dodge4 F&B.zip
86. 3-19-06: Bien Hoa 1: The massive US Army/Air Force complex at Bien Hoa, north of Saigon, was one of the many targets attacked during the 1968 Tet Offensive. VC units penetrated the base, caused great confusion and destroyed a number of aircraft. VC rocket and mortar attacks also caused significant damage. Firefights in number took place in the base environs, including Bien Hoa city. NOTES: There are no objective hexes in the game. The VC aim to get in, cause as much damage as possible, and get out, whereas the US must seek to minimise asset damage, whildt destroying as many VC as possible. There is a large number of civilians, of both persuasions, in the town and surrounding areas. Best Played as VC.... not HvsH balanced. http://www.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/BH-v1.zip (F)
87. 5-11-06: This portion of Highway 19 (all the way west to the An Khe Pass) was secured by the ROK Tiger Division. The ROKs were very good troops and this section of the road was very secure. Highway 19E was the major resupply route from Qui Nhon on the coast to Pleiku in the central highlands. A pipeline, about six inches in diamter, ran beside the highway from Qui Nhon to An Khe, and then from An Khe to Pleiku. The pipeline was constructed by the 643rd Engineer Co (Pipeline). At intervals of about 6 miles, there were pumping stations which forced the petroleum products (Diesel fuel, JP4, and MoGas)through the pipeline. This pipeline was blown up every night at approximately 9PM, somewhere along its length, by NVA or VC sappers. For that reason, the pumping of POL was usually only done during daylight hours. The pump stations were manned by elements of the 647th Quartermaster Company, part of the 240th Quartermaster Battalion. Your mission is to keep the pipeline safe (100VP hexes) and to keep Camp Addison, ROK SF Camp, and Ammo Depot from falling into NVA hands. (I have exceeded the free files I can post here.

88. 3-1-07: We Were Soliers Once .... (from Wyatt Kaply):
Ia Drang Valley, 15 November 1965: (Best played as the US or versus another human) Following the failed siege of the Plei Me Special Forces Camp, the battered elements of the 33rd and 32nd NVA Regiments retreated back towards the traditional Communist Sanctuary in the Ia Drang Valley. There, astride Cambodian border, General Chu Huy Man could regroup his forces and make ready to renew his offensive into the Central Highlands. Concurrent to Chu's withdrawal, the 3rd Bde (Gary Owen), 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) received the mission to pursue and harass the beaten NVA forces. Acting on his detailed research and excellent instincts, Colonel Brown, the 3rd Bde commander, selected the Ia Drang Valley as the most likely site from which to begin his operation. He ordered LTC Moore's 1-7th Cavalry Battalion to air assault into the valley and begin search and destroy operations against what was suspected to be a major staging area for the NVA. Moore's force was air lifted into LZ XRAY and began deploying for its mission. But what was unknown to the untested cavalry troopers, was that they'd landed on the front step of an entire NVA Division. And what had started out being a simple anti-guerilla sweep would quickly turn into a major prestige battle as both sides sought to destroy one another in the first major confrontation between the US Air Cavalry and the Communist Regular forces. And like most other battles in the RVN, casualties meant more than possession of terrain features. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/iadrang.zip
89. Ap Tau Ambush: Early in their tour, 3rd to the 4th Cav (later to become 4th ACR) ran into a heavy NVA ambush on the way to Ap Tau. Although losses were low reenfocements were required as well as early helicopter support. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/Ap Tau F&B.zip
90. As part of Operation Concodia 1, 9th Infantry units and Marine Recon units were sent ashore on the banks of the Mekong river to secure NVA villages. 15km South of Saigon, Long An Province, III CTZ On 19 June 1967, the newly formed Mobile Riverine Force (A special brigade-size unit tailored to operate in the numerous waterways of southern III CTZ and northen IV CTZ) initiated operation Concordia near Can Giuoc. Can Giuoc District contained a good network of navigable waterways, permitting the assault craft to enter an area that intelligence reports indicated was used extensively by the 5th Nha Be VC Battalion for rest and training. Civilian travel in the locality was chiefly by water, since most bridges and the one ferry were no longer serviceable. Previous military actions here had depended for movement on boats and aircraft. The U.S. 9th Infantry Division's 3d Brigade was sent in with Marine recon units. The fact that the Mobile Riverine Force could move its afloat base permitted the establishment of a brigade base within three kilometers of a location that had been a remote Viet Cong base area enjoying considerable security. The Mobile Riverine Force sent five companies of two U.S. infantry battalions into the operations area by assault craft. The sixth company, Company C, 3d Battalion, 47th Infantry, moved by water to an air pickup zone to stand by as reserve. The troops entered the area and searched south, using assault craft to cross water barriers and to provide communications and fire support. The 2d Battalion, 46th Infantry, Army of Vietnam, moved during darkness and established a blocking position near the town of Ap Bac, oriented to the east. SOURCES: Vietnam Studies: Riverine Operations 1966-1969. NOTES: Theres no objectives in this scenario, as in most Vietnam battles, victory will be determined by bodycount and kill ratio. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/dgvnmods/!!madness f&B.zip
