About the Game

The First Fight of Many

It Started Here LZ X-Ray is a simulation of the air assault by the 1-7 Air Cavalry Battalion into the Ia Drang Valley in mid-November of 1965. This platoon level game tells the story of the Air Cav's desperate fight for survival against the overwhelming strength of three North Vietnamese Army (NVA) regiments. This newly revised edition comes complete with new maps, counters and updated rules. Test your strategies and outthink your opponent, using infantry platoons, machine-gun sections, mortar batteries, and helicopter sections in furious jungle warfare.
