Description

Blitzkrieg Unleashed: The Battle of Sedan: May 13-14, 1940, 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.
