Hanoi 12 Days and Nights

In 1972, Hanoi witnessed a pivotal moment in history with the "Dien Bien Phu victory in the air," known as Operation Linebacker II. This event, which took place from December 18 to December 30, 1972, marked the final military campaign by the United States against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The operation was launched in response to the breakdown of the Paris Peace Conference, where negotiations stalled due to disagreements over the terms of the peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the US.

The game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, beautifully encapsulates this significant chapter in history. Focused on the theme of Revolution, the game aims to recreate the intense aerial conflict known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air." It portrays the valiant resistance of the Hanoi people against the formidable B-52 aircraft employed by the US imperialists. The game's narrative culminates with the US government being compelled to sign the Paris Agreement at the end of December 1972, paving the way for peace in North Vietnam.

On the American side, Operation Linebacker II was not just a military operation but a testament to the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people. Known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air" campaign, it underscored the final efforts of the United States in the Vietnam War, highlighting the strategic and tactical challenges faced during this period.
