Vietnam 65 part 3: Howitzer range, badly played
5The third episode in the mini-series covering Vietnam 65. Supply coverage is starting to become more difficult to maintain as the enemy becomes more proficient at intercepting our Hueys. Meanwhile we get a good opportunity to show off the capabilities of our howitzer.
Their blurb : It is 1965 and the US ground war in Vietnam is in full swing. As a US Army commander, wage a counter-insurgency (COIN) war to secure the Ia Drang valley, on the border with Cambodia.
In order to win the Hearts and Minds of the local population you will need to search for and destroy the Vietcong (VC) insurgents, who infiltrate from the Ho Chi Minh trail and destabilize the province by intimidating the locals, laying mines and ambushing your forces.
The insurgents also have a bigger brother, the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). This well trained, conventional army have much wider ambitions than the VC, they want to take total control of the valley, a stepping stone to unifying North Vietnam with the South under communist rule.
