Description from the packaging.

You've been in 'Nam ninety days now but sometimes it feels like forever. No matter how well the VC are thrashed one day, it seems as if they're back in even stronger numbers the next. To you the thought is chilling: the more you kill the more there are.

And now HQ has issued plans for Operation Delta Sweep, another massive search and destroy mission. The only difference is this one is supposed to be the last. Delta Sweep is to permanently end the threat of VC activity in your area for a long time to come.

Under your command is the air-mobile and heavily armed 1/509th Air Cavalry and the 9/15th Field Artillery for fire support. Also at your disposal are ten well-equipped and American-trained ARVN units. It is with these units that you must carry on your campaign against a highly motivated yet militarily weaker enemy. Their terrorist tactics against you are sporadic but fierce; their forces are spread thinly throughout the lush countryside.

But can you defeat such an army in an unconventional conflict? A conflict where domination of the terrain is sometimes tactically insignificant, where the enemy can hide amongst the people, and where the politics of terrorism and friendship can turn the people you want to save against you?

It's the kind of battle you could lose without ever being defeated.
