France '40

France '40 contains two separate games - Sickle Cut and Dynamo. Both games use the same rules and share many game pieces, but each has a separate full size map.Sickle Cut: Guderian's Drive to the ChannelThis game covers the crucial week in May 1940 when the German army broke the French line on the Meuse and raced to the sea at Abbeville. The game starts on May 13th, the third day of Case Yellow. Six panzer divisions have passed through the Ardennes and are now at the Meuse River. The French and British have raced through Belgium to reach the Dyle Line and cover the Gembloux Gap. The stage is set. Can the Germans cross the Meuse in front of strong opposition? And if they can, will they be able to break out from the bridgeheads and advance across the map while threatened by Allied reinforcements pouring in from the north and south?Dynamo: Retreat to VictoryThis game covers the British withdrawal to Dunkirk and the evacuation. The game starts on May 24th, the day the British decide that the B.E.F. is in real danger of being cut-off from their supply base and the best option is to head for the coast at Dunkirk. However many of the German panzer divisions are closer to Dunkirk than the British. Can the British reach the coast before the Germans? Can they hold the Dunkirk perimeter for eight days while they evacuate?The rules for both games highlight armour, air support and morale. Special rules include: Allied Heavy Tanks, DeGaulle, Rommel, Hitler's Halt Order and French Command Paralysis. Note that the two map may be linked together for players to study the entire period from May 13th to June 3rd, but there is no combined game scenario.Game Contents:2 Paper Maps2 CountersheetsRulebook4 Player Aid CardsTwo- 6-sided dice

Against the Odds: Lilliburlero - The Battle of the Boyne July 1690

The Battle that Made Ireland Part of the "United Kingdom." In one sense, The Battle of the Boyne might be considered the last battle of the English Civil War, and one of the last battles of the Protestant Reformation. It was also an astonishingly diverse battle. William of Orange's army included Danes, Dutch, English, Huguenots, Welsh, and Protestant Irish. The deposed King James' army was mostly Catholic Irish but also included a brigade of crack French infantry and some of the best cavalry in Europe.The Boyne also represents a key transition point in military technology... the last of the matchlocks and pikes and first of the flintlocks... an early use of "plug bayonets"... and a final time when cavalry caracole competed with pressing home a charge. The battle decided both who would rule England and whether Ireland would be a free nation."So what's with 'Lillibulero'?"It was a popular instrumental before this time but picked up lyrics that described the whole Irish campaign (from the winners' viewpoint). Trust us, you have heard the tune. It used to be used by the BBC, various British army groups, and the movie Barry Lyndon. It was "said to have sung James II out of three kingdoms," and is still part of the Orangemen marches that still mark pride and violence today."What about the game?"Philip Jelley's design uses area movement for the land of eastern Ireland relevant to the battle, on a full-colour map. Each turn represents roughly one hour of time, with weather, mist, and gun smoke affecting command and control and unit activations. Over 200 full-colour counters represent the various leaders, regiments, battalions, squadrons, and batteries that fought in the battle (or could have!).Multiple Scenarios, Multiple Choices: Scenarios are included for the full battle with historical deployments, the full battle with free-set-up, and for specific parts of the battle (for shorter playtime). Also included is a smaller battle "delaying action" that some people say is what James should have done, plus, there are optional rules for units who could have been involved or who had pressing reasons to NOT be involved (even William himself might not be there!).You'll have plenty of chances to try various ways of keeping Ireland free, or of pressing William's claims and forming the "United Kingdom..."Components:Two Game Maps216 Larger CountersRules Booklet2 Player Aid ChartsTwo Six-Sided Dice
