That was a nutcracker for sure!
Lost my sentries on the east bank within the blink of an eye. Clung to the western shore with a security section and a ARVN Squad brought in by the M113s. They managed to defend the bridge long enough until a Skyraider attacked the VC that tried to cross it. That strike killed most of the ones on the bridge. A section of the bridge was so badly damaged it collapsed and limited the VCs advance to the fords just north of it. But there they were caught by the PBRs. Three of them surived, none without being hit, all having lost one or more crewmen and weapon stations.
However that damn MG Squad that bagged the first PBR now roasts in hell. The ARVN barges and that ship were lost in crossfire from the east bank and that sampans.

Had the two other sentires from HQ deployed south to escort the General back but these ran into some VC squads. However the General (minus most of his family) is save and sound, thanks to the Seals who in a display of bold courage covered his back as he ran. They gave the ultimate sacrifice in doing so.

With the sentries away it was up to the clerks and the HQ staff to keep the VC and that false bastards at bay until they were relieved by the local militia.

Managed a marginal victory and only because that A1 took the bridge down. Lucky coincidence i would guess since most of the VC were still on the eastern shore when it was over.

S!

Decisive victory, USA 3985 points Vietcong 250 points!

The bridge is the key to the whole scenario. The ARVN camp will have trouble initially with the VC infiltrators, but have numerical superiority and will hold. As for General Kao, get him off to a safe corner of the map and lay down arty smoke or just let him sit there out of sight. The only place where the VC have a chance is getting across the bridge fast and early. I tried to evacuate the east bank garrison because I knew it would be overrun but I wasn't able to. So the APCs were the only people holding the bridge, which they did very well until the PBRs came. After that, it was just PBRs massacring Vietcong as they tried to get across the narrow bridge. Once enough of them died, I ran the APCs (now out of ammo) to secure the east bank objective while helos and PBRs guarded the west bank. The enemy didn't have any AT armament at this point and so wasn't able to stop my APC from taking the east bank.

In other words, hold the bridge, and you win the scenario.
