89
diers muster the courage and
fortitude to snag the dynamite
and try again? Unfortunately,
the dynamite lay exposed and
several NVA/VC markers were
trained on that position. Try as
they might, the dynamite could
not be recovered and the mortar
remained undamaged.
In the end, Red scored nine
points for keeping their flag flying and defending one mortar
location. With only one mortar destroyed, earning the U.S.
Army two points, the NVA/VC
pulled ahead and WON BY ONE
POINT: Blue 29; Red 30!
Or did they? Mission Masters
always has something up their
sleeve. During the briefing, a
bonus item was introduced and
explained: the Ace of Spades
playing card. Given Mission Master’s fun way of integrating historic symbolism into objective
locations, these cards, if picked
up by whichever team found
them, would be worth “something” at the end of the day.
These “death cards” were tallied at the close of the day and
announced during the closing
ceremony: U.S. Army – 8 death
cards; NVA/VC – 11 death cards.
Final score: Blue, 37; Red, 41.
