France, 10th May 1940: On this date, the German Army launched a massive attack on France, Belgium, and Holland. The attack was aided by massive aerial bombardments and supported by small, but highly effective, paratroop landings. Next morning, the Allies began to execute their own pre-planned war maneuvers. On the coast, the French 7e Arme began a dash to Holland. On their right flank, the British Expeditionary Force, along with the French 1re Arme on its right, advanced to a small river - the Dyle River - in central Belgium. However, the Germans were not coming through central Belgium, at least not with the bulk of their forces. They were coming through the Ardennes, where they broke out over the Meuse River five days later, pinning the most mobile elements of the French Army and the BEF to the coast, leaving the French with virtually no reserves to stave off the disaster. This scenario has been altered by the addition of a German strategic choice, allowing 2 Pz and 2 Mot divisions to be deployed in their historical position in the Ardennes, or further north near Maastricht.

Strategy options make this a very different game each time it is played.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.- Wyatt Earp

Dont use alternate artillery fire resolution, or indirect fire by map, makes allies WAY too strong with the non-fixed units.

Interesting , vast scn

Strategic Options is a nice twist changing the at start positions for both sides.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.- Wyatt Earp

Plenty of options for strategic thought. The French need to think things out carefully lest they be overwhelmed.
