Description

"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.
