From BoardGameGeek

Men of War (MoW) French Indochina-French Foreign Legion is Module 2 on the standalone Solitaire Tactical Book Wargame series designed to re-create modern low-intensity conflicts at the tactical level. MoW is an infantry-centric old-school hex and counter wargame system that mimics the nuances of modern small unit leadership, fire, and maneuver, primarily team and squad-based formations. In this second installment of the series, “Indochina (1946-1954)-French Foreign Legion”, the player controls units from the famed French Foreign Legion fighting under the French flag to maintain a fragile foothold in a post-WWII Indochina. Fighting the disciplined communist Viet Minh guerrilla cadre, French units must navigate and engage insurgents through difficult terrain in a new type of war. The game's scale is at the tactical level with each hex grid representing approximately 40 meters, turns representing a few minutes, and units representing teams of three to five soldiers. A dynamic and aggressive enemy artificial intelligence bot keeps players guessing enemy disposition on every turn. Features Solitaire Small Unit Tactical Gameplay. Unique Hexagonal Geomorphic Hexagonal maps depicting jungle Terrain linked for larger scenarios. Ten Historically inspired Mission. Support Weapons include Light Machineguns, Grenades, Flamethrowers, and Booby Traps. Easy to Learn six Page Rulebook. Deep tactical gameplay. A Dynamic and aggressive A.I. Bot/Enemy System keeps you guessing every turn. Portable; all you need is this book a D10 and D6 dice (or smartphone dice app) and a marker. -description from the publisher
