Description

This 4th Panzer expansion set includes the most significant French forces that saw action on the Western front in 1940. Also included are the German forces that invaded France and the Low Countries, flanked the Maginot Line, and finally pushed on into France. The TO&Es booklet includes details for the French and German forces covering the 1940 period, including the five major divisions from the cavalry and infantry arms of the French Army, including the Mechanized Light Division (DLM – Division Légère Méchanique) and the Armored Division (DCR – Division Cuirassée de Réserve). German forces include Panzer, Motorized Infantry and Infantry divisions, as well as the Grossdeutschland (mot) Infantry Regiment.

The playbook includes rules for special units, new optional rules for Staggered Initiative, Command Span, and others.

This expansion brings the Solitaire rules into Panzer with a dedicated Rules section and two solitaire scenarios. This box contains 12 riveting scenarios (including 2 historical scenarios depicting the fierce battle for Stonne). The 4 new double-sided geomorphic maps can be combined with all other Panzer expansion maps to create new battlefields (the Base game map is standalone in this aspect). This expansion models the terrain found in the French countryside including 2 historical maps depicting the terrain in and around Stonne. Unit summaries for the French and German units are also included.

In order to play this expansion only the Panzer basic game is required. The other expansions are not.
