In this game, players take the side of the British and French against the invading Germans (run by the computer) in a desperate attempt to hold on for as long as they possibly can. The longer they last, the more of their army will be able to withdraw and live to fight another day! No experience necessary.

Simple, quick, easy rules written by the host half a century ago (which is also when he painted most of the figures on the table). No experience is necessary; rules will be taught. Fun for all ages.
