A Week in Binh Long - The forever AAR

[Jason Petho]

Turn 9 - 1st/16th Infantry
.
A/1st/16th Infantry. The most southern platoon has found a sniper. Unfortunately, the first casualties from A Company were caused by the first shot from the Viet Cong sniper team. The Snakes were not very effective. I will have to move closer with the Rifle platoon to assault it, hopefully I can get close without taking more casualties.

I did bring both Snake gunships over to take a shot. Alas, no joy. But I'm in a position to get closer next turn.

Here is the overall situation that A/1st/16th Infantry has found themselves in.

Further to the south, B/1st/16th Infantry isn't fairing much better. One of the platoons had triggered some IED's and have suffered a disruption and had some losses. Unfortunately, I suspect this will be the standard way of how things will go with this campaign. Damn Viet Cong!

On the bright side, at least, the rest of 1st/16th is continuing north along Route 301 to QL13 with little issue. The convoy has been split into a couple of groups, but it is making good progress as a whole.
