BLITZKRIEG CHECKED
BATTLE OF GEMBLOUX

Blitzkrieg Checked is an introductory level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany’s Wehrmacht on May 14th and 15th, 1940.  The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The German vanguard of  Gen. Hoepner’s XVI Corps ran head-on into the defending French First Army led by General Rene Prioux at the “Gembloux Gap.”  The Germans hoped to seize the crucial open ground between the Dyle and Meuse Rivers, unhinging the Allied line.  The Germans also hoped to tie-up Allied forces here, so that they could not be used to oppose the main German offensive effort coming through the Ardennes further south. The resulting conflict in May was the largest tank battle ever fought to that point.

BLIZTKRIEG UNLEASHED
BATTLE OF SEDAN

Blitzkrieg Unleashed is an introductory level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany's Wehrmacht on May 13th and 14th, 1940. The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The main German offensive, dubbed the Sichelschnitt (razor cut), struck through the lightly defended Ardennes Forest and emerged at Sedan. General Heinz Guderian led the German vanguard, the XIX Panzer Corps. The defenders, under the command of General Charles Huntzinger, were determined that the humiliation visited upon France at this battlefield in 1870 would not be repeated in 1940.

BLITZKRIEG CHALLENGED
BATTLE OF DINANT

Blitzkrieg Challenged is an introductory level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany’s Wehrmacht on May 12th through 15th, 1940.  The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The German’s 5th Panzer Corps drove the Belgian and French screening forces through the Ardennes forest, then sought to cross the Meuse River near Dinant. A breakthrough here, as well as further south at Sedan, would split the Allied forces in two. A protracted and bloody battle was not in the German war plans...

BLITZKRIEG STALLED
BATTLE OF ARRAS

Blitzkrieg Stalled is an introductory level game of the battle between the Allied Armed forces and Germany's Wehrmacht on May 21st and 22nd , 1940. The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10th, 1940. The main German offensive, dubbed the Sichelschnitt (razor cut), struck through the lightly defended Ardennes Forest. The Germans quickly broke through the Allied main defense line along the Meuse River at Sedan and Dinant. German tank and mechanized forces, led by General Erwin Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, were boldly sent racing towards the English Channel to cut the Allied forces in half. The Allies launched a desperate counter-attack against the now strung-out and vulnerable German spearhead near the town of Arras. The fate of the Western forces hung in the balance...

BLITZKRIEG MET
BATTLE OF STONNE

Blitzkrieg Met is an introductory level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany's Wehrmacht on May 15th and 16th, 1940. The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The main German offensive, dubbed the Sichelschnitt (razor cut), struck through the lightly defended Ardennes Forest and emerged at Sedan. Alarmed at the prospect of a German breakout here, and the collapsing defense at Sedan, the French ordered an immediate counter-attack. General Heinz Guderian, however, had already ordered the bulk of the German panzer formations to breakout from the Sedan bridgehead, and ordered the Gross Deutchland Regiment, with a supporting Kampfgruppe formed from the 8th Panzer Division to take and hold the high ground at Stonne to guard the German’s bridgehead over the Meuse River and expanding flank. The fight for Stonne would be among the campaign’s most violent, with the town switching sides at least 17 times!

BLITZKRIEG UNDONE
BATTLE OF HANNUT

Blitzkrieg Undone is a low complexity level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany's Wehrmacht on May 12th and 13th, 1940 at Hannut, Belgium. The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The Allies anticipated the Germans would strike through neutral Belgium as they had in WWI, and planned on confronting them there on the Belgian plain. The first large scale encounter occurred at Hannut, not far from the famous battlefields of Ramillies and Waterloo. Here the 1st and 2nd French Light Mechanized Divisions, heavily armed with tanks, ran into the 3rd and 4th Panzer divisions. One of the first large tank battles of the war was about to begin...
