In early may 1940, the war clouds that started in Poland the previous year blew
into France and the Lower Countries as the German cross the border thus ending
the period knows as "The Phony War". With the opening of hostilities, the Franco-
British Armies executed their pre-war plan and marched into central Belgium to
meet the enemy and to re-fight the First World War. The Germans, however, had
devised a new attack. A bold and risky plan to push the bulk of their mobile
forces through the Ardennes Forest, outflank the Allied forces and pin them to
the coast. Will the German Panzer Divisions be able to duplicate this brilliant
maneuver and this time defeat the Allies before the army can evacuated at
Dunkerque? Or, will the Allies Forces rescue the situation like they did on the
Marne River in 1914?
