One player controls the French forces, and the other player controls the Viet Minh forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 1954, General Giap shocked the world by doing what had previously been considered impossible-defeating a Western occupying force. Storm Over Dien Bien Phu simulates the climactic moment when the isolated French forces (composed of French legionnaires and elite paratrooper units), and crumbled under the unrelenting pressure of the Chinese-backed Viet Minh forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the Area Move system redefined in Storm Over Stalingrad, the game features the use of cards to augment game play, adding to the tension experienced by both sides. The rules are similar in length to those seen in Storm Over Stalingrad, and are of the same level of complexity, with additions made for the situations encountered in this battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional rules added to the game include sapping, assaulting, and the French supply situation. In addition to these new rules, new cards have been created in order to represent events encountered during the battle. These include \"Detonate Mine Shaft\", \"Rats of the Nam Yum\", \"Giap Demands Success\", \"Propaganda\", \"Debouchez à Zero!\", and \"B-26 Bombers\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Scale:\u003cbr\u003e\nTurn: 1 week\u003cbr\u003e\nMap: Area\u003cbr\u003e\nUnit: Infantry Platoons\/Companies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Inventory:\u003cbr\u003e\nOne 22\" X 34\" mapsheet\u003cbr\u003e\nOne and a half countersheets (264 5\/8\" counters)\u003cbr\u003e\nOne 12 page Game Rulebook\u003cbr\u003e\nCard deck with 55 full-color cards\u003cbr\u003e\nFour six-sided dice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplexity - Low\u003cbr\u003e\nSolitaire suitability - Low\u003cbr\u003e\nPlaying time - Up to 3 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner: Nick Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\nDeveloper: Brian Youse\u003cbr\u003e\nGame Artwork: Nicolas Eskubi\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049609834874,"sku":"ZBG-MMPSODBP","price":39.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Storm-Over-Dien-Bien-Phu.jpg?v=1760982725","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-fr\/products\/storm-over-dien-bien-phu","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
