May 10, 1940. The Phoney War becomes Blitzkrieg as the German armed forces invade France and the Low Countries. With their flank protected by the massive fortifications of the Maginot Line, the best troops of France and Britain advance into Belgium to battle the invaders. The Germans gamble on their panzers, sending them through the rugged Ardennes forests in an attempt to pierce the Allied center and win the war with one bold stroke. Perhaps the gamble will fail; perhaps it will spell the fall of France.

Includes German, Italian, French, British, Dutch, Belgian, and Swiss forces. Standard Europa scale for units, turns, and maps.
