‘Battle of the Chuối Gà River’

£75 for the weekend with a £35 deposit

1965 (Fictional)

In the district of Cu Chi, Northwest of Saigon, near Cambodia.

The Chuối Gà River has run dry due to debris blockages caused by the heavy American carpet-bombing and artillery strikes in the region. Its blockages and new route has created a large swamp that trickles away slowly.  The River used to be a major patrolling point in 1964 and the US military installed many small fuel depots and food stations for the locals who at that time were still part of the hearts and minds directive. However, since the fall of Fort William and the US presence almost nonexistent in the region now, the depots and food stations have been abandoned and more significant is the freedom at which the VC can move across the dry riverbed without anyone seeing them.  The few bridges that did span over the River Chuối Gà are now sagging ropes and rotten slats or have been destroyed.  The area has been cut off…Or was…

The region is about to get another taste of the Green Machine as the 25^th Infantry has been ordered back into Cu Chi along with a team of Engineers.  The mission is to dynamite areas of the blocked river and try to get it flowing again.  This will open up the region once more mobile boat patrols, but they only have a few months before the rain season comes and makes its impossible to control the flow.

Welcome to the War guys
