About this game

As WWII dawned, the French expected a showdown with the Germans between their two fortified borders. The game ignores the possibility of a German attack through Belgium: the map, overlaid by a 10 x 25 grid, runs from the Swiss border only as far north as Cologne and Aix-la-Chappelle. Each player gets a playing board to mark shots and a smaller slate to mark his hidden defensive positions.
