About the product: Recreate world War II combat on a tabletop using dice, model troops, tanks and the rules Constructed by bolt action against one or more opponents.
Each opposing side will also require painted model troops, representing the soldiers, guns and tanks of your chosen armies.
Tabletop encounters take place according to twelve closely defined battle scenarios that explain how forces are deployed and how victory is achieved.
All that remains is for players to pit their Wits against each other as they enact just one small part of one of the greatest conflicts in history—world War II.
Build, paint and play! The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself!

Technical details: Upgrading the Char B1, the Char B1 bis had thicker armor and an APX4 turret with a longer-barreled (L/32) 47 mm SA 35 gun, giving it more anti-tank capacity alongside the 75mm hull-mounted howitzer. French experiences during the great War influenced their belief a breakthrough tank would be needed in future conflicts, hence the design of the heavy Char B1 and B1 bis. Among the most powerful tanks at the time, The Char B1 bis was very effective against German panzers in 1940 during the battle of France. However, slow speed and high fuel consumption Made it ill-adapted to the more fluid style of warfare being fought at that time. With the fall of France, the victorious German military captured 161 char B1 bis tanks and repurposed them under the nomenclature Panzerkampfwagen B-2 740 (F). several were also converted into flame-throwing tanks.
