Ch0senfktard,
Sorry for the inconvenience, I will look into whether that was an anomaly in printing or a more general mistake. Sorry about that, and I would be willing to send you another copy of the rulebook if you want.
Freddy

TacoJohn,
Sorry about being late on answering your PM. I’ll have to delay and discuss with my partners for digital copies of the rules and set up charts. I will discuss it with them, and I’ll get back as soon as I can. If you have any more questions please ask though!
Thanks man,
Freddy

Hey guys! I have an update for you guys!
I have been in contact with the amazing folks at Field Marshal Games, and they are now selling The Battle of France 1940 on their site! Please go check them out, at fieldmarshalgames.com! There is a limited time sale going on over there!
Thanks to all the great guys over there, I really appreciate all their help!
Go check it out!!
Freddy  :mrgreen:

Thanks John Brown for clarifying that,
I totally didn’t mean to say that the sets ONLY contain french units, what I meant was that the pieces are simply OOB french units (some are from HBG, which does a fantastic job in terms of units) but I personally don’t have any unique sculpts to offer. Sorry for that mistake!
Freddy

In terms of units needed to play, you probably have the units needed.
I would say that if you have any game (not 1941) that contains mechanized units you have enough units to play. You don’t even need blue units to play the game, Russians will work perfectly fine. If you have any set of french units, that is more than you will need. The “full” set only comes with an abbreviated set of french units from G40.
Freddy

Thanks John Brown,
I hope that it will be useful as both an introduction to the game, and a tutorial for new players! I hope you find the time to play some time, and that it will be a fun game to play and re-play.
Freddy

Thanks so much Young Grasshopper for taking the time to interview me! I really appreciate it, if there are any questions feel free to ask!

@calvinhobbesliker:

I love how the first sentence of the description is “This is not America’s fight.”

At the time, was it? We weren’t really “into” European politics at the time.

The11HP20,
I agree with your point on how the tanks were not of themselves of better material or better equipped. However, that is not to say that the Germans as a whole did not have a distinct advantage in the way they manned and used the tanks.
For example, the Germans had an extra gunner in the “cockpit” than their french counterparts. Additionally, they were equipped with radios that the French simply did not use with armor. Both of these caused the German army to have a superior armored force. The way I chose to describe these “armored” forces as being superior is with a lower pip system. I didn’t see a better way of showing it than lowering their defense values. I am VERY open to a more applicable suggestion- in fact I would appreciate such ideas.

In terms of the whole “meth” thing… I don’t have a valid way of putting that into the rulebook hahaha
“The french player must take Methamphetamines for no less than seven days prior to the playing of the game.” Which, BTW would be the best rule ever…
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks guys,
Freddy

Hey all,
I just wanted to get the word out that I will be attending FMGcon in Oshawa, Canada! I will be at a vendor table selling the game so if you are in the area and want a closer look at the game and the components come on by! If you will be attending I am looking forward to meeting and discussing the game with you!!
Thanks,
Freddy
