operations based on the environmental conditions you actually experience? It's not important I'm just curious. Thanks for going to
so much trouble to bring this to us. I'll keep up on your efforts.

The biggest operation of the war so far involves the US 1st Infantry,US 1st Cavalry and the 173rd Airborne bde supported by massive Arty and Air strikes.The NVA 101st Division and Local VC units are hit hard and breakout of the US cordon to escape destruction however next turn should see them destroyed,US casualties were light.
The USMC 1st Marines surround and destroy several VC units near Phuoc Lee.
