A Week in Binh Long - The forever AAR

[Jason Petho]

Turn 10 - General
.
We had some contact in Area ALASKA, with the sniper that caused one of the platoons to suffer some casualties. Otherwise, the Viet Cong have been pretty quiet so far. I have some Slicks that need to land as they are low on fuel and the ARVN are continuing to build Improved Positions in the areas they are fixed.

Turn 10 - 2d/28th Infantry
.
The Aero Rifle Platoon from D/1st/4th Cavalry is a turn away from securing the three hamlets in the far western side of Area LOUISIANA.
.


.
To the north of the Aero Rifle Platoon is the LRRP unit, it is advancing quickly along the trails in the northwest part of Area LOUISIANA.
.


.
And some good news for LZ LOUISIANA 5. My Chinooks have landed and unloaded the Dozers. It will take a bit longer to unload the Construction Engineers here, as they have more equipment as part of the platoon. I can start building the Improved Positions and then upgrade them to Trenches with both of these units. Once I build two of them, I will gain the extra Event Points for following instructions and building a Firebase at this location.

.
B/2d/28th Infantry is pushing into Area LOUISIANA. It is spread out a bit, but the platoons are still close enough to support each other if one of them run into some Viet Cong.
.


.
C/2d/28th is a couple turns away from entering Area LOUISIANA as a whole, they will spread out and start securing as much as the visible Victory Locations as possible.
.


.
A/2d/28th, operating to the east of Loc Ninh, is making excellent progress and have reached the valley floor and started securing the hamlets closer to the eastern boundary of Area ALABAMA.

.
Down south along QL13, the Engineering Task Force is making some slow progress. I'll have to be building a bridge at this location (north part of the screenshot). The road north of the new bridge has some minefields and blocks, so I still believe this mission will take most of the day, unfortunately.
