About this game

This self-published game by Eugène Petiot of Paris anticipated that the next war with Germany would focus on battles between tanks. His playing pieces show very early models: the Renault R-35 light tank for the British and French counters, and machine-gun equipped Panzer Is for the Germans. By the time war broke out, both sides had better tanks, but the Germans had figured out how to use them most effectively.
