Storm Over Dien Bien Phu

Storm Over Dien Bien Phu is a 2-player wargame simulating the Battle of Dien Bien Phu from March to May 1954, focusing on the French central strongpoints of Gabrielle, Anne–Marie, Beatrice, Eliane, Claudine, Huguette and Dominique. One player controls the French forces, and the other player controls the Viet Minh forces. In 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. Using 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. Additional 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”, “Débouchez à Zéro!”, and “B-26 Bombers”.

"Battles of Napoleon" is a new boardgame series with the goal of re-creating Napoleonic warfare at a tactical and operational level, using 1/72 figures to represent units and formations on modular game boards. The rules are of average complexity, with enough detail to simulate the most important features of the battles of the Napoleonic age, such as formations, maneuver, the relevance of combined arms. At the same time, they are simple enough to be fun and playable for beginners. Each set in the "Battles of Napoleon" series will include unpainted figures, modular boards, terrain elements, cards, dice, rules and scenarios. Different sets can be combined together to create larger battles.

The sun breaks across the horizon; the day awakes. The two players take part in a sporting competition: whoever wins five fencing bouts first is the winner. En Garde! The feinting and parrying of the Duell has begun... Touché! —description from the publisher Duell is a revised version of En Garde (published by Abacus). The game is basically the same, but in this version they've added 8 special cards. At the start of a duel you draw one of these cards. This card will change the rules for this duel only (examples: you have to play with open cards; you have to play with less cards; you are not allowed to retreat). The first player to win five duels wins. Belongs to the Ravensburger Fun For 2 Series.
