A Week in Binh Long - The forever AAR

[Jason Petho]

Turn 6 - 1st/16th Infantry
.
The convoy of 1st/16th is making progress. So far, no losses have been reported for the convoy as any of the mines/roadblocks and IED's along the route have only triggered the occasional disruption.

Alas, the same can't be said for B/1st/16th Infantry. While securing the abandoned airfield in the southern part of Area ALASKA, the 1st Platoon from B Company ran into an IED and suffered the first casualties, sending half a squad to a MASH unit. Alas, nothing can be done about that except hoping for the best that we don't run into a lot of IED's. Due to the nature of the scenario/campaign, I will not be able to replenish losses to my core battalions. The losses will remain as such throughout the week.

To the north, there is A/1st/16th Infantry in their helicopters, with some support from the Loaches and some Snakes. I will perform the air assault next turn. I didn't have enough Action Points to drop off the infantry and get the helicopters off the ground again, so I decided to wait a turn. As my helicopters are few and far between, I cannot be frivolous with them at all.
