From the text as written in Funny New Guys and comparing it to the real world...
You cannot get there from here.
The text says that Plei Ya Bo is half a mile west of Firebase 23. There is no suitable hill, so I put it 2.94 miles away on top of a 410m elevation.
The base is now 18.79 miles to Plei Hodrong Thoung; 18.09 miles to Plei Me's Special Forces camp; and 28.32 miles to the Pleiku air base.
Just out of curiosity, how does the game progress? Do you just give the guys the topo maps and tell them, "move from here to here?" I assume you've got some opposition lined up that they'll run into as well. Do you do random encounters?

They'll get to do some patrols. They'll get some time in the 'Ville.
DeleteI've got some things to present them with. Their unit is an experimental lab in the field for the Pentagon to see how integrated magic and chimera units work out under real world conditions.
The time frame is right about when the US ruled the day and the VC/NVA owned the night was firmly established. Patrols were daytime only and never stayed out of the wire after dark.
SOMEONE is going to notice that every Chimera has a sensory advantage over baseline humans and will try ordering a night patrol...
