By 12:00 h, enough units of BRAVO company 1/7 and ALPHA company 1/7, began to reconnoitre the ground towards the NW part of the Landing zone X-ray.

At this point, No one could imagine that few hundreds meters to the West was located the base of 3 PAVN battalions (acting in Ia Drang valley)...

Very, very nice. I told you, "great minds..." the team has been working on LZ XRay even while your group has.

This is very good work you are doing here Pyros. Your map and your development of the battle is certainly according to history. This should be a great scenario or campaign.
You've certainly put a lot of time into it. Well done.

The WinSPMBT community has some great MINDS and soon a lot of people will start to present their well worthing projects.

Lead the way, WB
