Hanoi 12 Days and Nights

In 1972, the city of Hanoi became the stage for a dramatic chapter in the Vietnam War, famously known as the "Dien Bien Phu in the air." This intense conflict unfolded during Operation Linebacker II, which was the final military campaign launched by the United States against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Spanning from December 18 to December 30, 1972, this operation was a direct result of the deadlock and subsequent collapse of the Paris Peace Conference, where negotiations between the US and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam had failed to reach an agreement.

The game "Hanoi 12 Days and Nights," developed by Pirex Games, seeks to recreate this pivotal moment in history. Focused on the theme of revolution, the game captures the spirit of the Hanoi people's resistance against the formidable B-52 aircraft of the US forces. This "devilish war" in the skies over Hanoi is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese in the face of overwhelming odds.

The culmination of Operation Linebacker II in late December 1972 led the US government to sign the Paris Agreement, marking a significant step towards peace in North Vietnam. This agreement was a critical turning point, reflecting the impact of the Hanoi people's steadfast defense during those tumultuous 12 days and nights.
