No Thought of Retreat*

Description: Following the evacuation of Dunkerque  the Germans set their armies in motion against the French core lands. General Weygand, now the new French commander, ordered a change in tactics. Instead of a linear defence, troops would form hedgehog defences, in villages and small woods, as to deny the roads to the enemy Panzers.*
*
Weygand demanded the French soldiers should defend their positions with resolute firmness with no thought of retreat, not even if bypassed by the enemy.*

Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the French side.*
