The Vietnamese cannot sit still. They must get their forces to the objectives for help in defense or the retaking of the objective. The battle mainly is a race of units in controlling the objective.
This scenario is a race to see if the French can capture and hold the single victory hex in the game before the Viet Minh reinforcements arrive in force. The French player must move quickly and decisively to have any chance of victory.
"You know, fightin' in a basement offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being, you're fightin' in a basement!" - LT Aldo Raine
The French seem to fight here with a hand tied behind their backs; there are two good positions with decent firepower overlooking the Viet Minh reinforcements route, but they can hardly hit them en route due to lack of decent number of ranged weapons.
