Fall of France 1940

[Brett Nicholson]

The German, mostly airborne, invasion of Holland was over in a few days but despite the small time-frame there was a lot of fighting involved and it wasn't an easy win for Germany despite the brevity of the engagement and the airborne attack almost failed due to Dutch resistance. There were also small contigents of British and French forces involved in Holland's defense. If the government hadn't of called for Dutch forces to surrender while the Queen and tons of monarchial gold were smuggled out the conflict would of surely lasted a lot longer. Of course other maps would have to be used other then FoF to simulate the lowland terrain and the battles and skirmishes that took place there likely wouldn't call for a boxed set. A supplement, with new counters, would bring more Dutch into PG and the Dutch had something like the 4th best military forces available in Europe at the time. Just another suggestion that would bring new forces into PG and also, though small in number, would bring more 1940 era French and British forces into play.
