Overview:
Phase II of the battle for the Five Hills had begun. Nearly an entire division had been flung at the Elaine 2 hilltop -- known as Champs Elysees. Bombarded for hours by artillery, recoilless rifles, and machinegun fire buried in the sides of nearby 'Phony Mountain', Champs Elysees was converted into a wasteland. A wave of Vietnamese swept up from the no-man's land between Champs Elysees and Old Baldy, sweeping all before them. Only a handful of Moroccans held onto the battalion HQ in the ruins of the French Governor's house. Colonel Langlais ordered an immediate counterattack. Failure would result in defeat for the entire garrison.Attacker: French (1 BEP, 1/2 REI, and 1/4 RTM and Platoon Ney)
Defender: PAVN (Regiment 98, 316th Infantry Division PAVN)
