Fatal Attraction - The CIA's Double Agent in Pakistan: In December 2009 a suicide bomber attacked the CIA annex at Forward Operating Base Chapman, making it the deadliest attack on the CIA since 1983. The attack was a result of poor tradecraft and gross incompetence on the part of the CIA.

The Game:
Mike Force is a solitaire wargame covering US Special Forces Operations in South Vietnam’s I Corps and adjoining areas of Laos during the Vietnam War. In Mike Force, you play the Free World forces (US, ARVN, Laotian) while the game system controls the Communists (NVA, VC). Communist mobile forces will advance towards critical Free World bases and cities, and if they take them, can win the game. You as the Free World player must use a combination of defensive operations to delay the Communists while your offensive forces hit them in their bases, represented by static units. By so doing, you can turn the tide in I Corps—and since this is a critical nexus for the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the entire War in Vietnam.
