About the game
What you do in a play session
Embark on an intense historical journey with '60 Days and Nights,' a solo wargame that puts you in command of the Việt Minh defense of Hanoi during the opening months of the First Indochina War (December 1946 to February 1947). You take on the role of Vương Thừa Vũ, leading a shrinking pocket of forces in Hanoi's Old Quarter, as French troops relentlessly press inward along four historical axes. The game isn't about annihilating the enemy, but rather about strategically managing pressure, maintaining troop cohesion, intelligent movement through the city, and, crucially, timing a tactical withdrawal. As the conflict unfolds, French aggression and firepower increase, while your Vietnamese position contracts. Your victory is measured in 'Legend,' meaning delaying the French advance is vital, but preserving your forces to fight another day is equally important. You'll need to make tough decisions: where to stand, where to give ground, when to sacrifice a rear guard, how to utilize the city's messengers and hidden routes, and ultimately, determine the point at which the defense has accomplished its purpose and it's time to retreat. Prepare for a deep and immersive tactical challenge!
