OPERATION ROLLING THUNDER 3
A Milsim event based on the Vietnam War
Xtreme Airsoft is returning to Barnett Ranch in Columbus, TX to continue the Rolling Thunder series of Vietnam period milsim events. Enlist in the Allied Forces of the United States and ARVN or the National Liberation Front (Vietcong) and North Vietnamese Army (NVA) as they battle over important firebases and camps in the struggle for body count and winning of the "Hearts and Minds" of the Vietnamese people.
