1972 Hanoi - The "Dien Bien Phu in the Air" victory, also known as Operation Linebacker II.
Pirex Games developed the title, Hanoi 12 Days and Nights. This historical simulation focuses on the December 1972 conflict, where Hanoi's defenders faced a massive U.S. bombing campaign using B-52 aircraft. Their tenacious resistance, aiming to recreate the spirit of the "Dien Bien Phu in the Air," contributed to U.S. decision to sign the Paris Peace Accords, bringing peace to North Vietnam.
The U.S. military campaign, dubbed Operation Linebacker II or the "Dien Bien Phu in the Air" campaign, marked the final major U.S. offensive against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the Vietnam War. It occurred from December 18 to December 30, 1972, following a deadlock and collapse in Paris peace negotiations due to disagreements over the proposed terms.
