The Battle for France and the Low Countries

By Jim Wallman and Megagame Makers,.
This game will be played in Dover, UK on 8th May 2010

This is a megagame about the campaign in France and the Low Countries in the spring of 1940. The game is prequelled by a planning game in which the high commands of all the participating nations develop their war plans.

These plans are then played out at all levels, from Army command right up to Cabinet and Head of State Level.

The game brings in the problems of alliance warfare for the Allies - joined together in some cases for the first time (Belgium and the Netherlands being unable to jointly plan with France and Britain prior to hostilities due to their neutral status).

The Germans, on the other hand are faced with the prospect of testing their new and untried theories of tank warfare against the strongest and best-equipped army in Europe (the French). It is one thing to use tanks successfully against an outdated and numerically inferior enemy (in Poland) - quite another against an enemy numerically superior and with, in many cases, better technology. If these new weapons fail to bring the campaign to a speedy conclusion, the Germans face the unwelcome prospect of a prolonged and bloody war of attrition.

The game will start with an afternoon planning session for some of the high command players in London on 5 April 2010, followed by the main game, involving over 100 players in May 2010, near the 70th anniversary of the historical events.

So book early - especially if you'd like a role at high command level.
