Wargame: France 1940

A classic hex and counter wargame, simulating the 1940 campaign in the West - the famous Fall of France, along with Belgium and Holland.
Category Price Seller Device
Games $2.99 David Kershaw iPhone, iPad, iPod

The game is big, with over 300 units, mostly divisions, representing Germany, Holland, Belgium, Britain, France, and even Poland. There are infantry, fortresses, tanks (Panzers), parachutists, and more.

There are 4 options (plus a random choice) for the French player (either human or AI):
1. Dyle plan - the default (and historical) option, with the best allied armies poised to march through Belgium to counter the expected German attack.
2. Escaut plan - same deployment as Dyle, only differs for the AI player, as this was a more cautious, limited advance into Belgium.
3. No B.E.F. - hypothetical scenario where Britain is neutral.
4. Reserves - the French 7th army was originally meant to be a strategic reserve, instead of the extreme left of the Allied line. This option puts it in reserve near Paris.

The German player has 5 options (plus the random one), again either human or AI:
1. Manstein plan - the default option is the famous historical sickle cut through the Ardennes.
2. Hadler plan - Original plan was a variant on the old Schlieffen plan only on a broad front in Belgium and Holland.
3. Belgium plan - This was a concentrated thrust through Belgium, which would have met the Dyle plan head on.
4. Compromise - Hitler proposed a compromise plan, which had a secondary thrust through the Ardennes, with the main effort in Belgium.
5. A Strasburg hypothetical plan puts Panzergruppe Kleist, backed up by 7th Army reinforced with 3 infantry corps attacking South of Strasburg through the Maginot line!

Words are too small to read on both iPad and iPhone. Can’t play the game.


Used to work, but...

It was halfway good, but the update of 16 January has killed it: now, it doesn't load on my Retina Mini. Please fix it?


Does not work!!!

Do not buy. Not only does game crash but it actually crashes my IPAD and my IPAD has to reboot. Please fix this or refund my $2.99.


Crashes

I played two full rounds against the ai. Everything seemed to work smoothly and it is an interesting game. I'm glad to see a wargame come out on iPhone. The mechanics are great and smooth. Unfortunately, after two games the game crashed. When ever i try to open it, it shows the loading screen for abt 10 secs before crashing. Please fix this. Sad to see a good game spoiled by technical issues. Would have been five stars


Help!

Won't load, IPAD crashes

Every time I try to use this I have to pick low resolution, the game attempts to load, then it crashes... Really wanted it, a few years ago played the PC version, which was a great game. To bad I can't find out about the IPad version...


Good game

Crashes

This looks like a great game. I've played the Poland and Sicily titles and loved them. However, this game won't go past the resolution choice screen - it locks up and forces me to reboot. Please fix it guys - I really want to play this one!


Definitely worth buying!

The free games were excellent but the scope and replayability for this one make it completely worth the purchase price. I'm a huge fan of all of the games from this developer and have bought them all.


Great Game!

Plays like the Avalon Hill board games from the seventies and the SSI computer games from the 80's. I'll buy every WWII game that is created. Needs some background music and a little better view into the AI's turn.
