The Lost Provinces: The Thai Blitzkrieg in French Indo-China

In 1941, Thailand launches a blitzkrieg against French Indo-China to reclaim provinces lost decades earlier. The conflict lasts eighteen days before Japanese mediation secures territorial gains for Thailand. This compact, soloable wargame uses three Thai thrust lines supported by army, artillery, and air power against concentrated French forces defending along interior lines. Players compare combat strengths to determine odds, then resolve attacks with die-roll modifiers rather than a traditional CRT column, adding uncertainty to each battle. French forces must decide when to retreat and when to hold their positions.
