Dien Bien Phu: The Final Gamble (2nd Edition) - Legion Wargames (2014)

Another interesting hex and counter wargame from one of my favorite designers, Kim Kanger. This game covers the siege of Dien Bien Phu in the spring of 1954. Some of these same French units would later be involved in the Algerian War of Independence, as portrayed in another of Kim Kanger's games: Ici c'est la France! - Legion Wargames 2009

**You need a copy of your own game to play this. There is no scenario set up card included.
There also is no Trench Zone Chart, but I have notated the various trench lines directly on the game board itself.
As always, almost all of the images are from the VASSAL module created by Jim Pyle.
I claim no rights to any of the images used, or to the game itself. If you enjoy the game, support the designer and the developer.

From BGG:
"Dien Bien Phu - The Final Gamble" is a two-player wargame about the decisive battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 that not only ended the French Indochina War but also had political repercussions far outside the region itself. One player represents France and her colonial troops. The other player represents the armed force of Viet Minh, the communist/nationalist independence movement of Vietnam. This is a cage fight. There are no victory points, there is no marginal victory and there is no draw. Viet Minh wins by forcing the French troops to surrender. France wins by not surrendering.

Map and scale: The map covers the former village of Dien Bien Phu and surrounding areas. There is a small submap of the French strongpoint "Isabelle" further south in the valley. There are several groups of French strongpoints scattered around the map, each one with a female name (all named after the commander - de Castries' - mistresses, according to lore). The map is divided into three divisional sectors (plus a fourth one facing the submap "Isabelle"). Each sector has several zones that represent Viet Minh trenches winding from the map edge towards the center of the map. Each hex represents 150 meters and each game turn covers three days. There are 21 turns in the game, but historically, it ended after 19 game turns with a Viet Minh victory."

I used assets from Tumba, admin password, SpaceNavy and MrStump to make this mod.
