No other game like it. A strategic-level oversize hex & miniatures game of the huge conventional contest in 1972, as the Northern Communists attempted to militarily defeat the South before the US presidential election at the end of the year. Fast-paced and easy-to-play but complex enough for the true wargamer. Event cards and mystery units make for great re-playability. Terrain effects, supply, ZOC, airmobile moves, air and naval gunfire support, amphibious operations, air defense, B-52 bombers and more. The final 1975 campaign scenario is included as well - for two great campaign games in one box! The game includes 148 minis, including US, ROK, ARVN and NVA soldiers, T-54 and M-48 tanks, M-113 APCs, Artillery for both sides, Huey helicopters, Cobras, Zil trucks, B-52s, Phantoms, F-5s, AC-130s and the famous A-1 Skyraiders! Both Campaigns come with their own unique card decks and rules, along with terrain effects cards, deployment and reinforcement cards, multiple roundels and markers, tokens and dice.

Said Specialist Fourth Class Michael Hill, a U.S. adviser with ARVN units in the area: "It was like nothing we ever expected and nothing we ever saw." Then came the ground attack. Some 25,000 North Vietnamese troops, with Russian-built tanks and artillery, swept down through Quang Tri province, sending 50,000 refugees fleeing south and U.S. advisers scurrying to their helicopters…”
