[Kien Long, Cuong Thien Province, South Vietnam]:
[SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
The hours after dawn on April 12, 1964 saw the District Capital, Kien Long, fall to a determined attack by two Viet Cong battalions. The local Regional Forces were decimated, the District Chief and family were killed and the 7th Parachute battalion that landed to reinforce was stalled in the outskirts of Kien Long suffering from heavy casualties.
The ARVN 7th Division reinforced the stalled forces with two infantry battalions from the 11th Infantry Regiment, transported by the helicopters of the 118th and 120th Combat Assault Companies.
The Viet Cong battalions had entrenched themselves into the town, with excellent Line of Sight onto all approaches, including the Landing Zone for the infantry battalions.
Even though casualties mounted, and morale was suffering among the ARVN forces, the refreshed force attempted to capture the town throughout the day, knowing that when darkness came, the Viet Cong would slip away into the night.
This is one of the first times the Viet Cong chose to stand and fight in broad daylight.
[NOTE: This represents the second stage of the battle for Kien Long]

I have just started the same scenario as the ARVN v another player so we will see if my hunch is correct.
