Vietnam - French Plantation Battle

Although most of the French planters who once tilled the soil of their long-established colony departed when France lost its battle against the Viet Minh, this family stayed behind. Now, they are being rooted out by local Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Regular troops. The planters resist, aided by a handful of French veterans who chose to stay behind when their army returned to France. But they can't hold on for long. Luckily a reaction force of U.S. Marines, U.S. Infantry, U.S. Green Berets and South Vietnamese Regulars has just arrived on the scene, so as the Vietnamese forces push their attack to seize the plantation, the U.S. and South Vietnamese troops are mounting a counter-attack.
This set recreates a jungle battle in involving 112 Vietnamese, U.S. forces, French civilians and infantry. The set comes with a such military hardware as an armed water craft reminiscent of a "swift boat," an American helicopter, missile launcher and howitzer, plus a full-scale plantation manor house, a movable bridge, a jungle of palm trees, flags, 40 wooden and barbed wire fences, 3 Southeast Asian animals (2 water buffalo and an elephant) and over 100 additional accessories.
