Dien Bien Phu: Trenches in the Tropics is a simple simulation of the battle of Dien Bien Phu (March 13 – May 7 1954). This decisive battle saw French elite troops (paratroopers of Bigeard and the Légion étrangère) defeated by the Vietminh led by General Vo Nguyen Giap. It put an end to the French domination over Indochina and was a great victory for the Vietnamese Communist party who would be seen, after this event, as the party who gave freedom to its own people. Dien Bien Phu: Trenches in the Tropics is a two-player war game. One player commands the Vietminh, while the other commands the French forces.
