Description

This game, published in The Wargamer Magazine (#62), is a simulation of the Battle of Khe Sanh, Vietnam, 1968. It depicts the defense of the U.S. Marine base at Khe Sanh against the forces of the North Vietnamese Army.

Points are scored for certain objective hexes on the map and for units eliminated. The U.S. total is subtracted from the N.V.A. total and the resulting amount determines the level of victory.

The game contains both an historical and a hypothetical "What if the NVA performed an all-out attack?" scenario.
