Vietnam Patrol 2007

The Battle of the Iron Beasts

A Historical Scenario Game

Saturday, May 12, 2007

This game is in honor of Armed Forces Day, and as a special honor to those who served in the Vietnam Conflict. The forces of the United States will include an element of the US Army 1st Battalion, 69th Armor based out of Fire Base Rex (Ben Het). In addition, there will be a team of Detachment A-101, 5th Special Forces Group and CIDG Montagnard Rangers based out of Fort Apache (Lang Vei). The opposing forces will include elements of the North Vietnamese 24th Infantry Regiments, supported by the 202nd Armored Regiment based out of the North (of course) and a team of Vietcong who may be just about anywhere.

“The date: early evening of 3 March 1969. The place: a far-flung Special Forces camp near Ben Het, South Vietnam, perched in the rugged mountains of the Central Highlands, and overlooking entrances from the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the Laos-Cambodia-Vietnam border area. Until the end of 1973, North Vietnamese armor appeared on or-near the battlefields of South Vietnam on only four recorded occasions. The first instance was at Lang Vei Special Forces Camp near Khe Sanh in the I Corps area on 6-7 February 1968. Here, a North Vietnamese combined arms attack with PT76 tanks succeeded in breaking through the camp's defensive positions. At Ben Het, North Vietnamese tanks and other forces attacked the joint US and Vietnamese defenses dug into the barren hills of the camp. This engagement, although brief, marked the first time since the Korean Conflict, 16 years before, that an American armor unit had decisively engaged enemy tanks.”

The object of the scenario is to capture and maintain control of territory at specified points during the day, as well as successfully completing missions issued by the command for both sides. There will be special “non-playing” guest generals for both sides; however leadership positions are available for the above mentioned major units. Please call CD Paintball for details if you are interested in leading troops. There are perks!

Hey guys, this is going to be a great game. It was a fan favorite from last year that is back by popular demand as an annual event.


Any teams that might want a pre look before the MPP game, this would be a good time. Especially if you have armor. (Okay, yes it is a cheap plug for armor) It is actually an armor based game. Anyone wishing to bring armor let us know.

Thumper, the Reaganswood Dr address is correct for the field, field store, and scenario supply. I will hit Lee Ann up and let her know.

You know I'm not sure on Generals. It is a good possibility that One of the Thompsons from Capitol Offense may lead the Vietnam side. I say may, because they do alot of generalling and like to just get out and gun some. If so, they are excellent generals, Sr and Jr alike. One of the best teams I have ever run across.
