Scenario 358-Quang Tri
This scenario depicts the battle of Quang Tri in 1972. South Vietnamese army elements of a marine and an airborne division are attacking the NVA units in the city of Quang Tri. The map of the battle field (which is 100*110 hexes big) is:
1-The Quang Tri Citadel, an old fortress, captured by the NVA who are garrisoned in it. This is a potential strongpoint and heavy enemy resistance is expected.
2-A captured firebase, with trenches and a runway. It is also a potential strongpoint and it will be bombarded
3- The entrance to Quang Tri, with a trench observed
4- The bridge connecting the two parts of the city, a major objective.
5-3rd company, 4th battalion, 147th Marines.
6-1st company 4th battalion, 147th Marines. The 4th battalion is at 60% strength in total.
7-1st company, 1st battalion, 147th Marines.
8-2nd company, 1st battalion, 147th Marines.
9-An ACAV platoon.
10-The HQ, with security elements, FOs and a 75mm howitzer battery.
11-2nd and 3rd companies of the 5th battalion, 2nd Task Force (airborne). The 5th battalion is at 60% strength.
12-1st company, 11th battalion, 2nd Task Force (airborne)
The plan for now is pretty simple, advance with all elements until contact is established, then use infantry and artillery to advance inside the city slowly but surely. Any major weapon elements are to be dealt first, either by direct, indirect fire, or air strikes.
