Turn 7 - 6th Feb Media Reports

Highway 9 is under attack by armoured vehicles from the NVA and the action seems to be centring on Lang Vei in the Quảng Trị Province. The NVA are continuing to make major attacks on the US and her allies.

Hue is still the site of a major fight and it is far from clear who really controls the city.
