[WIP] Nui Ba Den (Black Virgin Mountain)
The Mekong Delta is generally a flat region with the exception of the Black Virgin Mountain. The mountain commands everything in its sight and was therefore a strategic location for both sides during the war. In May 1964 the mountain top was assaulted by the Special Forces 3rd MIKE Force and the peak was held by American forces as a radio relay station. Supplied by helicopter for much of the war the Americans controlled the top and the Vietcong controlled the bottom and surrounding foothills.

The base was occupied by over 140 Americans when on the night of 13 May 1968 the base was attacked and overrun by the Vietcong. By 02:30 on 14 May the Vietcong had been driven off by gunship and artillery fire. The results of the attack were 24 U.S. killed, 2 U.S. MIA and 25 Vietcong killed.

A lot of people have an issue with the rocks on the map but if you look at You tube videos of the base guess what you see? Rocks lots o Rocks. The devs did a great job on this even though I too find the rocks frustrating I prefer as much authenticity as possible given it is a game.

I think the real base had even more rocks.
