Brute Force: The War in the West, 1940-1945
A two-player operational wargame covering three pivotal Western Front campaigns: Norway, the 1940 Blitzkrieg in the West, and Operation Overlord. Players allocate limited air and naval support, assign manpower, and decide when and where to commit key formations, including the BEF and German panzer forces. Units represent corps, divisions, and brigades; each hex covers approximately 30 miles and each turn represents about two weeks.
