France 1944: The Allied Crusade in Europe
A low-complexity wargame covering the Allied breakout and pursuit across France in 1944. Players activate headquarters to control infantry and armored divisions, using a time track to determine how movement and combat actions limit what can be done later in the turn. The system models the delay between positioning infantry, making attacks, and exploiting breakthroughs with armor. Elite formations receive special emphasis, while powerful British units are brittle and cannot be replaced. Optional rules cover Operation Market Garden and the Ardennes Offensive.
