Starting the A Week in Binh Long campaign. This will be significantly more complicated than A Week in the Mekong Delta. Everything is different and will require a new toolkit to complete the missions that will be assigned for this campaign. It starts off slow, with only two battalions in the field on Day 1, but will grow to 9+ battalions as the week progresses. There was also some great viewer questions!

The second session of A Week in Binh Long. And just like that, I'm already taking casualties, to IED's and snipers at the moment. I did run into a nest at Hill 171 in Area LOUISIANA where 2d/28th Infantry is operating. Two Companies of 1st/16th conducted two flawless Combat Assaults into Area ALASKA while the rest of the battalion pushes north on QL13.

The third session of A Week in Binh Long. I finally have a bridge built south of Loc Ninh, and the column will be moving north. We have landed an LRRP team in Cambodia, let's see how long it survives! Otherwise, IED's continue to be the bane of my existence and causing my casualties. I did take some time to jump into Bootcamp 2 for Nic to see if we could figure out his problem, which was resolved, but if you want a good laugh - watch me get DESTROYED!

The fourth session of A Week in Binh Long. Half way through Day 1. Things looked liked they were going smooth, but alas, was I wrong indeed. I went over some methodology of what I do when I play to keep things organized in my head and answered a bunch of questions. There was some combat and some unexpected surprises.

The fifth session of A Week in Binh Long. The Firebase is safe! There's far more movement now happening in the background. The NVA/VC are active, I just haven't found them yet. The daylight of Day one is coming to a close and I have secured most of the operation areas for the day, but we're suddenly being attacked in Area ALASKA by a company sized Viet Cong unit. My LRRP unit operating in Cambodia has spotted some regular NVA and started to set IED's on the trails. Some great questions from audience and some great suggestions for additional play enhancements relating to the LRRP's!

The sixth session of A Week in Binh Long. The southern airfield in Area ALASKA was attacked, but the firepower of the United States saves the day. Day One day light nearly comes to a close. We ran into some Viet Cong not far from the LOUSIANA 5 Firebase, but they disappeared into the jungle again. Will the Firebase be attacked tonight? I'm not sure and am nervous with night about to fall. Unfortunately, I lost my slicks that were transporting my LRRP's, so will have to wait for some additional slicks for that special forces task.

The seventh session of A Week in Binh Long. It was a night session, burning through night turns and building defences around the main cities. Some great questions by viewers, thank you for that. With some fantastic ideas. We ended up hitting the first turn of Day 2 and formulated some plans to figure out how we will tackle the day.

The eighth session of A Week in Binh Long. The start of Day 2 proceeds without too many hitches. I provide some excellent examples of how to use your Pink Teams (Loaches and Gunships). The 2d/2d Infantry has arrived on the map in the south and convoys are proceeding up Route 301 and QL13 towards Chon Thanh. Three new Areas to clear, one for each battalion but by the looks of things they won't be too complicated to secure. There is some serious helicopter management that is required though!

The ninth session of A Week in Binh Long. The first 10 turns are under the belt of Day 2. There is some exceptional progress, as 1st/16th has nearly finished clearing Area MISSOURI. 2d/2d Infantry is on the road heading towards Chon Thanh (Area ARIZONA) while 2d/28th Infantry is nearly completed its move into Area GEORGIA. Before I started today's session, I did over a scripting example for one of the TET DLC scenarios, to show the logic behind what a Viet Cong company will do as it starts the scenario!

The tenth session of A Week in Binh Long. The continuation of Day 2. Things are going quite well, although the Viet Cong have engaged in some action against the 2d/28th and 1st/16th Infantry! My pink teams are successful again, but one of my firebases is threatened. To the south 2d/2d is arriving at Chon Thanh and I'm learning the finer nuances of helicopter management. I wish I had more, but alas... one does with what they have.
