Dedication:

BLITZKRIEG! ATTACK ON THE WEST, 1940 is dedicated ...
A. to all those who suffered in the First and Secons World Wars - especially, in the West, the Belgian and French peoples.
B. to my children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna, in the hope that they may never have to go through a world war:
The more we learn about the world wars, the better our chances that they will be the LAST world wars.
C. To my good friend and a proud Frenchman in Gothenburg Sweden, Patrick Tremoureux, and his beautiful little family, for their generous hospitality and his contagious joie de vivre.

• Rules in Rich Text Format, Revised, 20Feb17. These will probably be revised frequently, with feedback.
  
• Examples of movement vis a vis ZOCs and rivers.
• Allied and German UnitsYou will want to print the units off at maximum size possible and then photo-reduce them from that, for best detail/quality. If you can, use a Pen width of 2 instead of 1, because the drawing lines are so fine.
  5/8"--15mm--wide is about right for the smaller map. French and Allied units should be printed/photocopied off onto light tan/khaki (or NATO good guy light blue) paper/cardstock, for mounting on the back of blue-backed posterboard or (better) matte board. German units should be printed/photocopied off onto light gray (or NATO bad guy pink) for mounting on the back of red (bad guy) posterboard or matte board.
  Note that the armies' entrenched sides should be 1 factor higher than their maneuver sides and that the entrenchments should be cut off before the initial mounting and glued on the back of their respective armies.
  All units should be used on the bigger map. Of the infantry corps/korps nly 2 French, 3 German, and the Belgian Ardennes Chasseurs should be used on the smaller map.
• Allied and German Units which should print off smaller
• The (whole) Map, Revised 26Nov16
  You will want to print the maps off as large as possible, and you may want to enlarge them with a photocopier after that. Ivory is an excellent color.
