During the Vietnam and post-Vietnam periods, all issued LAWs were recalled due to instances of the warhead exploding in flight, sometimes injuring the operator.

Good luck with that.
Well stuff.

fix'd

Well stuff.

Wow, you handled that a lot better then other people.

Sergeant Baker approaches the squad. "Alright you loving girls, listen up, this is unfortunate, but Alex Perchenson and Ryan Peterson have been transferred to the 123rd Company in Da Nang. Dan Miller and Tyrone Huntsman and Henry Wayne will remain. We're inquiring a new squad-mate. His name is Marcus Rodriguez. Teach him something.

Dan exclaims, "So that's where they loving went! Why were they transferred?"

Sergeant Baker replies, "The recent NVA activity, some of our superiors believe if they attack they'll hit Da Nang the hardest. In fact every city and town that has the US Army and Marines in it are being targeted. We don't know how they're getting here, probably help from the local NLF."
"Explains why the tanks and recent fly-by's of cargo planes and jet fighters and stuff."



00.47 Hours

Tanks are still moving around slowly patrolling. Fireworks in the distance are going off to celebrate Tet. A celebrating is happening all over South Vietnam. Soldiers are sent throughout Hue to make sure there's no negative activity.

Bravo squad is one klick north-east from the command center.
Bravo squad remains mostly inside a bar while Henry and Dan are outside taking break, chattering away.
"Hey, Henry shut up for a moment, I see a hot piece of ass coming this way."
A young Vietnamese woman walks by the two, smiling.
"Henry, gimme a minute, I'm chasing this tail."
Dan follows the woman, she stops and waits for him. They start walking together and walk into an abandoned building.

While Henry waits for Dan, some pops are heard in the distance. Small canisters hit the ground far up the street and start emitting smoke.  The smoke engulfs the upper part of the street. Gunfire is then heard, a street west of the squads position gets immediately bombarded by Katyusha artillery. Gun shots spew through the smoke as NVA soldiers start running through the smoke, screaming and firing off their weapons.

Dan runs outside with his shirt partially off, he pulls up his M14 and starts firing. The women he was with is not seen.

Vietnamese soldiers start to appear, shooting and popping off smoke. "stuff!" I yell. I was just posted with my tank in a alleyway, near (the bar the squad was at). "Gunner, hop on that LMG! Driver, get us in the middle so they have cover!" The tank bolts forward, then stops. The tank is sideways, covering the squad. "Load HE Rounds!" The loader complys and picks up a shell, putting it in it's respectful slot. "Fire!" I yell. Our HE Round went straight into a building, sharpnel spraying over the NVA soldiers. "Suppress those soldiers!" I yell to the gunner. He loads a belt of ammo in and begins to suppress them.

I begin pushing the power up, rather quickly, "Defender-One rolling" The aircraft accelerates quickly alongside my wingman. I pull gently back on the stick and put the landing gear up. "Defender-One, airborne"

"Defender two, airborne off your starboard." I look right and see another F-4 gaining altitude next to me.

"Defender One, flight of two, inbound Hue, ETA 3 minutes. Notify infantry."

Yes let's all act like Henry was not just contemplating Self Delete.

Henry ducked down, throwing his arms over his head and crouching down, running toward Dan and putting his hands back at his sides.  He ducked into cover in an alleyway by the building he and the woman were just in, taking his M16 off of its sling and turning the safety off, pulling the charging handle back and lifting the fore end toward the smoke, aiming through the iron sights and waiting.  Two NVA charged through, and Henry shot them each in the chest, both of them dropping and writhing in pain on the ground.  Another one ran through, immediately taking aim at Henry, but before he could react Henry squeezed the trigger, the bullet skimming the soldier's waist and causing him to stumble with pain.  Henry quickly finished him off.

but my tank is blocking the street so they dont push you back


"stuff, gunner, how are those troops getting by?!?" I ask. He responds with there being too many.  I hop down and get on the radio. "Command, can we get any support or reinforcements? We are outnumbered!"

Yes let's all act like Henry was not just contemplating Self Delete.

but did he go through with it? it was just left off as him wrapping his finger around the trigger? anyways that conversation we were having before the battle started could've been about your attempted Self Delete.


Dan yells into the bar. "Get a loving radio we need artillery strikes on this street!" He fires some potshots at the NVA. The NVA start to take cover around a lot of debris left behind the HE shell hitting the building. Immediately a T-59 comes into view, with the smoke being cleared out. It fires it's maybe cannon.

I hear the man's claim about Artillery Strikes. "Atleast wait until my tank gets out of the way of the artillery!" I yell back. The tank begins to drive backwards, but continues to suppress the NVA. You never said where the cannon goes so I'll assume it hits my tank. "stuff, is anything disabled?" The Driver responds, "Front Armor partially destroyed, engine functional!" I respond back. "Okay, load HEAT Rounds and destroy that forgeter!" The orders are complied and the T-59 is destroyed.

"I'm on it!" Marcus comes running out of the bar with a radio, hunched over, heading to Dan's position.

"Wait a second, I got a radio in my tank!" I hop down again and use the radio. "Command, I need some bombs delivered onto _____ street. We're pinned by NVA and we can't seem to weed them out!"

Marcus returns to the bar, firing pot shots from a window.

"Copy Alpha. Be advised, extreme danger close, how copy?" I begin to decend onto the city. Defender 2 breaks to do combat air patrol.

Dan runs to the tank and grabs the radio. "We need a CBU drop on Charlie Sector, 05-07!" Another squad is seen moving around a corner toward the other side of the debris which the tank left. One of their men is shot down by an NVA trying to advance but is immediately ripped to shreds by the M2 Browning's suppression.

Sergeant Baker jobs out of the bar yelling. "What the forget did you do now Henry?!?! God damn loving gooks eat stuff!" Sergeant Baker looks behind the squad and sees another squad of NVA trying to flank the soldiers. While screaming at his squad he starts firing his M16 at the squad, mowing them down. "How much stuff do I have to put up with in one loving week! I'm too loving old for this job"
