Kham Duc during Vietnam War
The Battle of Kham Duc was a major battle of the Vietnam War (also known, in Vietnam, as the "American War"). The event occurred in Khâm Đức, now district capital of Phước Sơn District, then in Quảng Tín Province (now part of Quảng Nam Province, South Vietnam), on 10–12 May 1968. During the Tet Offensive of 1968, the Vietnam People's Army (PAVN) 2nd Division tried to capture Đà Nẵng but their attacks were quickly blunted by elements of the U.S. 1st Marine Division, the Americal Division, and the Korean Brigade that were guarding the city. North Vietnamese General Chu Huy Mân decided to disengage from the fight in the outskirts of the city, and pull the 2nd Division into the mountains where they could rest, rebuild, and prepare for the next major operation. Khâm Đức, a small district in the north of Quảng Tín, was chosen as the next target for the PAVN 2nd Division. Following the defeat of the North Vietnamese in Đà Nẵng, U.S. military intelligence agencies in I Corps Tactical Zone were confused by the movements of the North Vietnamese 2nd Division, because they could not track down the mysterious enemy unit.
I change the timeline in my scenaries and move to the Vietnam War. There is a big freeware project for this timeline called the Vietnam War project. Many scenaries are done by this projekt. You will find a Kham Duc scenerie there too.
I (for myself..) decide to do a new one for Kham Duc witch will have more details. It matches with all the other ones and just a little thing is to change if you have installed the Vietnam War project. The result of this development from Kham Duc 1968 is now available for download as freeware in here. It is far away from perfect... its just useble.
Still i name it as "Beta".... it will shurly get some updats in future time.
Special thanks: My special thank goes to Mark (roger wilco-66). Without his help and comprehensive advice, this scenery would not been arisen. If i had a question.... he had the answer... every time.
Even without his fantastic libraries this scenery would not be seen today. It would probably never have gone beyond the hard drive of my computer.
Mark ... thanks for all !
I used many other freeware models in this scenery. Some are ai-models and also there are normal plane i converted to use as ai-traffic.
Some ai ships i use belong to Henrik Nielsen, who gave his permission to use in scenery. Many thanks for this fantastic models.
Some models in use come from the Vietnam War project libraries. Even you must have installed this libraries on your computer to show my scenery right.
Many other designer are involved with their very fine models (sometimes i even don`t know their names) .... but surely all models i use are freeware. So please don`t use all the elements of this scenery in other way as freeware without the permission of this designers.
I hope you will enjoy this little scenery.
