DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

I would recommend book #1 from Post #15 if this project is still being worked on. I got mine from the ALBERIS site for around $15.00 in very good condition. I bring this up because I was checking to see if their was any info on the type of 105mm arty tubes that were being used then. The Appendix is very thorough to include complete Order of Battles for both armies. By example from the FOB:
"I Battery, North Viet-Nam AAA Group (FTA-NVN)
1 section of 2 quad-.50 mounts Dominque 4
1 section of 2 quad-.50 mounts Huguette 1"

I used the above example as I believe it was brought in the thread about these units. They are the only ones listed in the FOB. This might be worth your while as of course the story, along with drawings and pictures show the progression of the battle which might be useful on the scenario approach you take to refine what you have now. The Falklands scenario might be useful here(?).

I came across what appears at first glance an exciting reference source covering DienBien Phu and the IndoChina War in general. Interestingly, it is a Wild Bill site using TOAW game. He has well documented OOBs for both sides in the conflict and a TOAW scenario map that I think could be translated into winSPMBT without much difficulty.
