Dien Bien Phu conjures up many images for the average wargamer - a bloody,
muddy siege, the failure of a colonial empire to hold onto it's
possessions in the aftermath of World War II, the Legion Etrangere holding
positions to the end, paratroopers dropping into a doomed situation, the
list goes on. However, the French Indochina War was much more than that.
In the Legion tradition, small outposts and their defense were a fixture
throughout the war. There were riverine assaults, a tactic that would
bloom in the American War 10+ years later. Aggressive paradrops were a
regular feature before the development of the heliborne assault.
There were convoys and endless patrols. In this latest edition to the
Squad Battles series you will get to experience all of these situations
and more.
