@spartan:
Here is the intro I wrote for the rulebook, thoughts anybody?
I like it. It sets the stage nicely, I think.
A few editorial suggestions:
“It is fall of 1940 and the Axis war machine is driving across Europe, yet to see defeat.”
Technically, the Axis forces weren’t driving anywhere in Europe in the fall of 1940. Hitler was stuck at the English Channel and was losing the Battle of Britain. Italy wasn’t moving either. It would be better to refer to the Axis war machine having overrun most of Europe, or having made itself the master of Continental Europe.
“France, Poland, Norway, and Denmark have all fallen under German and Italian control.”
It would be better to just say German control. Italy had only taken a small bite out of southern France, and to my knowledge it had no troops whatsoever in Poland, Norway, and Denmark.

“the Balkan’s Campaign had begun.”
