France '40

Two separate division-level wargames cover the German breakthrough in May–June 1940: one simulates the Meuse crossing and the armoured drive to the Channel, the other follows the British withdrawal and evacuation at Dunkirk. Players command division- and brigade-level formations on 4-mile hex maps with one-day turns, maneuvering armour, infantry and air support while managing morale and command effects. Special rules model period-specific factors such as heavy Allied tanks, political and command disruptions, key commanders, and orders affecting operations. The two maps and shared counters use the same ruleset and may be placed side-by-side for study, though no combined scenario is provided.

Dos juegos en uno, se juegan bien en solitario, aunque son más bien sencillos. Una buena introducción al sistema 4x de Simonitch.

Rápido, accesible, divertido. Hay gente que se aburre con el Francés, yo creo que ara lo que dura el juego, se puede jugar en una sesión larga, las opciones oportunistas que le salen al Francés son interesantes de explotar. Un sistema agil y elegante y con adaptaciones que le hacen muy versátil para escenarios y juegos "jugarles" como este
