I take a look at Tonkin: First Indochina War from Legion Wargames. The game is for two players with a medium difficulty level and solitaire suitability. The game carries an MSRP of $55.00.
Once again I’m a little sniffly as I have the flu…
From Legion:
Tonkin is a two player game that covers the crucial period of the First Indochina War fought between the Viet Minh and France from 1946 -1954. The game focuses on the intensive years from 1950 – 1954 in the northern part of Vietnam, called Tonkin, and Laos. It is a game of high interactive play where both players have a set of ten operation points and a number of supply dumps. By spending operations points you will be able to perform different, mostly non-combat, actions. By expending a supply dump you will also be allowed to perform combat missions. But there will be a limited number of supply dumps to expend and they will also be needed to keep units in supply. When you spend operation points you will only be allowed to spend one, two or three points in a row before it is your opponent’s turn to spend his.
This is a re-do of an interesting game that appeared in the French wargaming magazine Vae Victis #70 (2006). I’m definitely interested to learn how it has translated to an English 2nd edition.
