Battle for France 1940

Description
The Battle of France, also known as the Fall of France, was the invasion of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg by Nazi Germany during World War II. France had declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, after the latter invaded Poland. In early September 1939, France launched the failed Saar Offensive, and by mid-October French troops had returned to their original positions.

The Germans developed the Yellow Plan (Fall Gelb), German armored units advanced by surprise in the Ardennes and along the Somme valley, isolating and encircling the Allied units that had advanced to Belgium to face the invasion expected by that territory. When British, Belgian and French forces were pushed out to sea by the well-organized German operation, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and several French divisions were evacuated from Dunkirk beach in Operation Dynamo.


This is the second campaign developed by SPANISH WARRIOR and I (Vicman), we were talking about which front we wanted to work on after "Way to Warsaw 1939". After commenting on several fronts, we came to the conclusion that the fall of France was one of the most important events of the war and had brilliant and heroic operations, such as the case of Operation Dinamo. In addition, unlike the previous campaign, in this 4-mission campaign you can play 2 as the axis and 2 as the allies.


1-. Ardennes

With the success on the northern front through the low countries, the Ardennes offensive is immediate, but despite the great extension there are only 4 routes through the mountain through which some 41,000 vehicles must pass. The mission of your company will be to open the way along one of the roads, facing the French forces entrenched in the villages and opening the way to the motorized divisions.

2-. Battle of Sedan

The city of Sedan was defended by the Meuse Line, a 6 km deep belt established in accordance with modern defense principles on the slopes near the Meuse River valley.

On the morning of May 13, the 71st Infantry Division moved east of Sedan, allowing the 55th Division to narrow its front by a third and project its position in depth.

You need to get through Sedan, but the air presence has been decimated by French anti-aircraft guns. Capture those cannons and capture those bridges before allied armies reach the area

3-. Battle of Arras

Battle of Arras was an Allied counterattack against the flank of the German Army, which took place near the city of Arras, in northeastern France. German forces were pressing north towards the English Channel in order to trap Allied forces advancing east into Belgium.

The counterattack at Arras was an attempt by the Allies to cut off the German spearhead and thwart their advance. Although the allies initially managed to win, they were repelled by German forces and forced to withdraw to avoid being encircled. you will take the lead of the british expeditionary forces on the battle of Arras.

4-. Defense of Dunkirk

The defense of Dunkirk consisted of the defense of the town and the evacuation of British, French and Belgian forces from continental Europe between May 26 and June 4, 1940.

A series of Allied counterattacks including the Battle of Arras failed. stop the German vanguard, which reached the coast on May 20, separating the BEF, the French First Army and the Belgian Army from the majority of the French troops, located to the south of the German units that had arrived at the area, near Armentières. sea.

The members of the French army will have to organize their defensive lines on the outskirts of Dunkirk in order to save as many soldiers as possible. will you, commander able to lead your troops to the victory?

Shame I was able to do the first part pretty flawlessly on hardcore and capture enemy equipment:shit: only for the checkpoint in the city to not activate the trigger to continue

Dunkirk seems nigh on impossible. Get swarmed by so many tanks in the city when I have 3 left, they steam roll my infantry after destroying my tanks and then sweep through the city. What's the tactic? Other than skill issue
