TILL DARKNESS GOES
The Battle of Tra Binh Dong
February 14-15, 1966
TILL DARKNESS GOES:
The Battle of
Tra Binh Dong is an introductory level
wargame on the first large-scale fight waged by the
forces of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam. A
reinforced battalion of the ROK's 2nd Marine Brigade
(Blue Dragons) occupied a fortified, oval shaped
redoubt that guarded a crucial crossroads in Quang
Ngai province. Frustrated with pursuing the elusive
Viet Cong in the surrounding jungle, the Korean
Marines set a trap by constructing their position in
close proximity to the jungles and away from the
roads they were charged with protecting, with them
as bait. The Korean commander hoped to lure the VC
into attacking their position in order to get the
enemy into the open for a conventional fight.
The Koreans got their wish in the late night hours
of February 14th when two full North Vietnamese
battalions attacked with Viet Cong support. It was a
savage and bloody fight that lasted to nearly 8:00
AM on the 15th that could have gone either way. In
the end the Korean Marines emerged victorious, and
would go on to dominate the region, garnering a
reputation as fierce warriors to be engaged with
caution and respect.
Game components will consist of
one, 11" x 17" inch area
map, 44 unmounted, double sided counters, one Player Aid Card,
and 6 pages of rules.
