Second: The players are Algerian, French, Vietnamese and Foreign Legion members of the French garrison of Strongpoint Isabelle and its the last day of the siege of Dien Bien Phu, this campaign will focus on the players trek through the jungle, dodging Viet Minh patrols and trying to make it back to French lines.
Let me know if anyone is intrested!

Is this Lee Yates?
If so, I can vouch that you run a good game, based on the Morrow Project PBeM adventure you ran a number of years back.
I'd be interested in the latter option; earlier in the year my wife and I returned from a 4-1/2 month trip to SE Asia, including parts of Laos and over a month in Viet Nam. While we never made it all the way to Dien Bien Phu we visited Sa Pa, about 130km away. For instance, I don't think there's any jungle there. It's all highlands and mountains, rather cool and often sparsely vegetated. The foliage is more light-medium forest, terrain is very rugged.
Not that you won't do your research, but there's a lot of bloody hill and valley tribes in that area. One per hill, basically. There's Black H'mong, Flower H'Mong, Red Tsay, Zang, etc., some of which will be allied to the French, others the Viet Minh with most being as neutral as possible.
