FHT The Breaking Point

Spycker, France, 2nd June, 1940. As the last days and hours of the Dunkirk defence passed and the perimeter shrank to within four miles of the city, the British turned their remaining positions over to the French forces. On the western side of the perimeter the Grossdeutschland Regiment, supported by tanks of the 9th Panzer Division hurled themselves at the defences of the 68th Division near the town of Spycker in an effort to breakthrough to the evacuation beaches on the channel.

One of the quirks of this map is that Sd.Kfz. 251 APCs can provide a spotter kit for a Stuka bombing run instead of a machine gun tripod kit. It is also the only map in 1940 which the Thompson M1928A1 is used by the French.

Did You Know That?

The stationary turrets of Maginot Line can be raised or lowered using arrow keys. Note that the exposed armour of raised turret is very thin.
