Allied Turn 20, Aug 1966 -

The countryside was clear except for a VC Regiment in Long Khanh.  The entire 173rd Airborne descended to protect its home base.  The battle was bloody but, as usual, the U.S. prevailed.

This is the report of NVA actions taken during turn 21. This report is UNCLASSIFIED.
Here's the news summary for this turn:

Here's the losses so far:

This is the reinforcements I've gotten this turn:

The red dots inside South Vietnam are where I'm running around trying to convert
hexes and generally stay out of the way of the Allied forces. The white rectangle
is where I'm attacking a provence capital:

I moved what was left of my attacking forces into Tinh Bien and the turn ended here:

Allied Turn 21, Sep 1966 -

Activity has picked up again.  I imagine Larry wants to get his licks in before the monsoon ends.  Tinh Bien (provincial capital in Chau Doc) has fallen to elements of the 275th VC Rgt.  A Regiment from the ARVN 21st Division and a Ranger battalion from the IV Ranger Group responded.  The 21st lost a battalion in the fight and we didn't actually re-occupy the city, but the enemy was KIA'd and government forces can march back in next turn.  Friendly losses seem much higher in attacks containing only ARVN units.

Elsewhere the smattering of VC are mopped up.  Despite the temporary loss of Tinh Bien the Allied victory level continues to rise.  Civil protests are down.  No further troop requests are anticipated. We are on track to achieve 100% control by summer 1967.

Here's the zoomed-out view. I'm running around inside the whole countryside
trying to stay away from the Allied forces but converting hexes:

The 3rd VC Inf Bn was successful in capturing Sa Dec but I doubt that I'll
be able to hold it long:

The 271st VC Inf Reg was successful in pushing asside the ARVN rangers and
occuping Tinh Bien but holding it will be another matter entirely:

The NVA 98th Reg of the 316th Div overran Tay Ninh and might be able to hold
it for about half a turn:

The NVA 174th Reg of the 316th Div overran Loc Ninh and kept going south and
is now attacking An Loc:

Allied Turn 22, Oct 1966 -

In his strongest action yet, Larry has invaded with numerous VC and NVA regiments all over the county.  I would almost call this an offensive - it's certainly a coordinated action.  The areas hardest hit were III Corps and IV Corps.  Unfortunately nearly all the ARVN units were ineffective this turn so the entire burden fell on U.S. Forces.  Combine it with the fact that I only managed one combat round and the result was a very, very poor turn.
