1940: The Fall of France – A Panzer Grenadier Game

A tactical World War II wargame that recreates the 1940 campaign in France through 50 standalone scenarios. Players command French and German forces, maneuvering infantry, cavalry, and a wide range of armored vehicles across semi-rigid mapboards. Scenarios portray varied situations—French attacks and defenses, elite units like the Foreign Legion and Coloniale, second-line reserves, and historic German formations including specialized units and assault guns. Gameplay emphasizes unit movement, combined-arms engagement, and scenario-driven objectives using counters that represent specific tanks, armored cars, artillery, and support weapons.
