What? A new boardgame on Dien Bien Phu? My order IS IN with White Dog Games!

Bought it and received. Dare I break the shrink-wrap? Life is complicated.

John Tiller has a platoon level, 40m hex, 5 min turns game on Dien Bien Phu.
About 70 scenarios...
Different scope of course, but the research on this Squad game series looks excellent. Lots of detailed info on units, weapons etc

Minor point, it's squad level. By far , one of the best sources for info on this war are these guys' books:

For those interested in this period, particularly recommend these titles:

Gendarmes-Parachutistes en Indochine
Commandos Nord-Vietnam
Les Combats de la RC 4
