Marines under siege

Khe Sanh ‘68 places you in command of the campaign to hold the United States Marine Corps firebase at Khe Sanh during the Vietnam War. The historical campaign was a race against time as the US high command feared the North Vietnamese were going to attempt to overrun the base. All resources put into the Khe Sanh fight, however, were subtracted from those available to deal with the Tet Offensive elsewhere. Your mission is to inflict maximum Communist losses before the clock runs out.

The game uses the Cold War Blitz mini-game rules, a solitaire game system. You command the US and ARVN units, and have a deck of cards to enhance your unit capabilities. A second deck of cards, drawn one at a time randomly, controls communist (OPFOR) activities through a random card draw. Combat is resolved with a quasi-tactical system with opposing units firing at one another.
