World at War 106 : France Overseas 1940

World at War #106 – France Overseas, 1940 is a two-player alternative history wargame included in the World at War magazine. It examines a provocative “what if” scenario in World War II: what might have happened if France had refused to surrender in 1940 and instead evacuated much of its army to French North Africa.

This issue features:

• A complete magazine game package, including a large 22 × 34 inch map and one counter sheet with 176 counters representing divisional units.
• Operational level gameplay where each turn equals half a month of war and each hexagon represents around 20 miles (32.4 km).
• Historically based orders of battle for both sides, while allowing players to explore alternative strategic decisions such as Spanish involvement and Allied force deployment decisions from London.

As with other World at War issues, this magazine also includes in-depth historical articles and analyses in addition to the featured game, providing rich context and background.
