Counter-Attack: The Battle of Arras, 1940 (2019)

About this game

"A critical moment came just as my forces reached the Channel. It was caused by a British counter-stroke southwards from Arras on 21 May. For a short time it was feared the panzer divisions would be cut off before the infantry divisions could come up to support them. None of the french counter-attacks carried the threat of this one." - Von Rundstedt, Commander German Army Group "A". Counter-Attack: The Battle of Arras, 1940 is a two-player Operational level wargame simulating the British and French attack on mobile German elements near Arras, France, on May 21, 1940. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
