Default Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

I know quite a bit of DBP and my 5 Eurocent is that it is too large and complex a battle to be realistically covered in SPMBT. How do you portray "The Rats of Myon Than"? The extreme morale and dedication of Les Paras and La Legion? The 40 man assault on Elaine that threw out a battalion of Viets? The sheer scale of the battle? Would you allow the French to garrision DBP with only Legionnaires and Paras instead of mixing Viets and N. Africans in? ETC.
I am sorry, but I think it cannot be done at this scale.
