Vale De Morte - Africa at War

20 April 1988, northeastern Angola\\FNLA and Cuban attack helicopters

and fighters were having a devastating affect on UNITA troops.

UNITA determined if they were to hold the line they needed

to eliminate this aerial threat. A large raiding force consisting

of four company size units was to set up a base camp in a small

valley behind enemy lines. From this base they would recce the

FNLA air base and design and execute the raid on this base.\\The

operation was discovered by the Cubans. A fresh Cuban battalion

was camped a few kilometers southwest of the valley. A quick,

pre-emptive strike was organized. It has hoped to catch the rebels

unaware and to destroy the entire force.\\Fictional battle.
