The battle of Khe Sanh remains one of the fiercest and most debated battles of the Vietnam War. Who won? To this day, no one's sure.

From late 1967 to early 1968, tens of thousands of elite North Vietnamese troops surrounded the massive US Marine base at Khe Sanh, near the DMZ that divides North and South Vietnam.

In many ways, it was a massive open-ended gambit by legendary Vietnamese military mastermind Vo Nguyen Giap. By surrounding the 6000-strong US and ARVN base, he lured American attention away from the over 100 towns and cities which would be attacked in late January 1968 during the Tet Offensive.

Around 1000 Americans and an estimated 10,000 Vietnamese died in and around the base and nearby Lang Vei Special Forces (SF) Camp, both of which were abandoned by June 1968. Download and play The Nam to try this single player skirmish mission. Tiger Yan out!
