About the game
Hannut: France 1940 is an operational level wargame simulation of the battle fought at Hannut in Belgium during the Battle of Belgium, from 12 to 14 May 1940. It was the largest tank battle in the campaign. It was also the largest clash of tanks in armored warfare history at the time. Hannut uses a simplified version of the Grand Operational Simulation Series (GOSS) rules that depict WWII combat at the battalion level. Each hex on the map is one mile from side to opposite side. Units are battalions and companies. Each AM and PM game turn represents about one-half of available daylight hours. Night game turns extend through the hours of darkness. —description from the publisher
