Title: Task Force Shoemaker - Force on Force AARs
Post by: Donogh on January 31, 2012, 09:18:36 PM

2nd Squadron punches through the enemy cordon to cross the border en route to taking control of landing zones to be used later in the day by the 9th Infantry Division.

A circling scout helicopter spots a large enemy force on the edge of the clearing. Things had looked clear from their vantage point at the farm, but as the jungle erupts with fire, the squadron discovers itself surrounded on three sides

Thanks!
Part II

By early afternoon on the 4th, 2nd Squadron aimed to break out of the jungle and get to the ridge astride the highway. They were tasked to secure the first of three destroyed bridges for engineering units to follow.
As they move up the trail, the local Viet Cong have other ideas...

Title: Encirclement - Force on Force AAR
Post by: Donogh on February 06, 2012, 09:48:06 PM

In mid-afternoon of the 5th,  the 11th Cavalry surrounded Snoul, with the 2nd Squadron on the east and 3rd Squadron on the west. 3rd Squadron, moving through the rubber trees to encircle the city, triggered an ambush set to hit the 2nd Squadron as they took the airfield and silenced anti-air guns.

Elements of 3rd Squadron move in towards the airstrip

Lying in wait for 2nd Squadron is this light machine gun team, hoping to catch the infantry without any armour support
