Arc-Light - Clear the Hill, Part 2

While conducting a Search & Destroy mission at a suspected enemy base the 1^st/5^th Air Cavalry ran into strong opposition of at least battalion strength.

The Sky Troopers were unable to reach the base and withdrew. The next day a 'Arc Light' strike hit the suspected area and the bomb damage assessment, carried out the next day showed a number of bunkers had been destroyed. We believe the remnants of the force are now running for the Cambodian border.

Search & Destroy - 12 turns

The 2^nd/1^st Infantry is to conduct a battalion sweep, we believe elements of the 174th NVA Regiment will go to ground in this area. Sweep through for the enemy, tunnels and caches, also search the village of Do Lan for any weapons or food caches stored there. Engineers are on hand should you find any significant bunkers or tunnel systems.

The US player deploy using either:-

• Mobile Deployment, enter on the southern edge of the board.
• Airborne Assault, can conduct the assaults in up to 4 locations in clear terrain.

Sweep through looking for tunnels and conduct a search of the village.

The NVA player will deploy on the east side of the board using hidden deployment, the priority is to secure the supplies carried in the tunnel system.
