Guerre Eclair (french version)

Guerre Éclair is a two-player historical wargame recreating the German invasion of France, Belgium and the Netherlands during May–June 1940. Designed by Yasushi Nakaguro, it combines an accessible ruleset with meaningful operational choices and hidden information.

As the German player, you must conceal your intentions and unleash concentrated Panzer attacks to break through and reach Paris or the Channel coast.
As the Allied player, success depends on reading the enemy plan, building a resilient defense and striking back at the decisive moment.
