Drole de guerre v1.2
After the invasion of Poland, Great Britain and France should have attacked Germany. Now, Hitler has joined a great army in the French and Dutch borders and will attack soon.
Many months have passed, and this war is strange. There is war in the sea, but almost nothing in the air and absolutely nothing in the land. Lord Gort, commander of the British Expeditionary Force sends optimistic reports. The French generals, old-fashioned, believed in a long front war that will stop the german advance like in 1914; they have the "Maginot Line", almost impregnable. The French called this strange time "drole de guerre" (joke of war); they can't imagine what will happen soon.
10th May 1940: The Germans, following the Manstein plan, attack the Netherlands and Luxemburg. If the allied troops don't get hurry, the German troops will break Belgian defences and France will be exposed to a great-scale invasion.
