Filles Vietnam Campaign De Deux Plus Un, PART 7

"THE DEFENCE OF TIT HILL"
1 SITUATION

1.1 Overview

During the night we lost contact with our unit at Tit Hill, but an SF team reports hearing fighting in that area. We can only assume that Tit Hill is under attack.

Simultaneously the an "fast FAC" airforce unit, Texas 6 is hunting down AAA in W3 and 4.

Both areas will need strike resources.
