Khe-San — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Khe-San is a medium, 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set for expert play and built for three players, two of whom can be human. Red is computer-controlled and plays Fortress, while Blue and Tan both field Castles, and the human side and the computer sides are split into two teams. The author frames it as a Vietnam-era strategy scenario near the DMZ, where a player must hold a base through hostile jungle terrain, with booby traps to watch for. Victory means defeating all enemies, and the loss condition is losing the Khe-San town. The landscape is mostly rock and swamp with a small share of water. Highlights include a Cerberus and a Skeleton Warrior as wandering monsters, twelve artifacts such as the Still Eye of the Dragon and the Cards of Prophecy, and twenty-nine mines.

Author's description

This exercise in strategy takes place near the DMZ during the Vietnam war. Can you manage to hold back the VietCong through the jungles, or will you flee towards DaNang to regroup? The jungle is a hostile place, watch for boobytraps. If you lose Khe-San base you will lose the war.
