The Nam: Vietnam Combat Operations (Vietcong Ambush)

During the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese and Vietcong mastered the art of ambushing American troops, blending into the jungle and unleashing their fire only a few meters from their foes.
As American troops could always call in artillery and airstrikes, the Vietnamese learned to 'hold their enemies by the belt buckle', fighting too close for supporting fire to be used safely.
The great majority of contacts during the Vietnam War were initiated by the Vietnamese, who could always retreat to fight another day. Though the average American patrol was uneventful, some resulted in 'contact' which was pure hell.
In this vignette from The 'Nam : Vietnam Combat Operations, we'll see US Marines in contact with elite North Vietnamese troops during Operation Swift, which took place in South Vietnam's Que Son Valley in early September 1967. Hidden Vietnamese troops bloodied the flak-vested Marines repeatedly before fading back to the bush.
The 'Nam : Vietnam Combat Operations is a real time strategy game created by Tiger Yan which recreates company-sized combat operations set during the American phase of the Vietnam War (1965 – 1973), termed by Vietnamese as the Second Indochina War.
Players can choose to play as the US Marine Corps or the Vietcong (VC) and People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN).
Marines can draw support from additional service branches like the Army for Special Forces (SF) troops, plus the Air Force and Navy for land and carrier-based air support. The VC and PAVN in turn, can set-up and capture villages or go underground and fight from hidden tunnel systems.
