Screenshots and After-Action Reports

Completing their patrol, US forces sweep into the village of Men Cheah and storm the captured facility, recovering it, and clearing the surrounding village suburbs. They defend it from several counterattacks with the assistance of armour support of M48 tanks from a troop of the 1st Squadron Wycombe Wanderers moving south from Air Station Cardinal. Finally, they return to Patrol Base Giant to resupply before pushing on east and south to defeat an small armour and light vehicle column moving into the AO after they had made a downstream crossing via heavy barges.
