Vietnam 1969
‘You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours, but even at those odds, you will lose and I will win.’----Ho Chi Minh
Welcome to those thrilling days of yesteryear! Time to put away that red dot scope and hang up your Blackhawk super vest and put on the good ol' boonie hat and jungle boots and time to go back to 'Nam!
The tide of the war has shifted. Support back home has become to waver and even the soldiers on the ground are losing hope. Now the Brass has ordered the 1st Air Cav back to Bin Kei.
Its been months since the Americans were forced to fall back from Firebase Chicago. In that time they have been trying to recover from their loses at Bin Lao and the surrounding region. In that time the Viet Cong have begun strengthening their hold on the region. The North Vietnamese Army is now being resupplied from Cambodia and there is little the Americans can do to stop it. As B-52's perform their arclight bombing raids attempting to destroy these newly created supply lines it is up to the grunts on the ground to retake what was lost.
Come join MindGame Productions on Memorial Day weekend for a TWO DAY EVENT as we take you back for another tour of duty! Experience the urban warfare of Vietnam as you try to fight for control of Bin Kei. Go on night patrol while trying to find an enemy that blends into the darkness. |
