Wargamer Magazine #62Fallen Eagle
The Battle of Khe Sanh Vietnam, 1968
Fallen Eagle is a game depicting the defense of the US Marine base at Khe Sanh in South Vietnam against forces of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in 1968. The Marines were surrounded and outnumbered but held until the garrison was relieved. Despite what was essentially a victory of US arms, television coverage of this and the subsequent Tet Offensive would bring the horror of the Vietnam War into the living rooms of America, eventually leading public opinion against American involvement in Southeast Asia
Points are scored for certain objective hexes on the map and for units eliminated. The U.S. total is subtracted from the N.V.A. total and the resulting amount determines the level of victory.
The game contains both an historical and a hypothetical "What if the NVA performed an all-out attack?" scenarios.

This is the Final issue of Wargamer Magazine. 3W had purchased the rights to Strategy and Tactics Magazine and future issues (and games) were all merged into the S&T line.
This is a superior copy that may have a bit staple rust. The issue is clean, unmarked and guaranteed complete. The rules are detached. The game is unpunched and un played.
