Dive into Wargame: France 1940
A classic hex and counter wargame, simulating the 1940 campaign in the West – the famous Fall of France, along with Belgium and Holland.
The game is big, with over 300 units, mostly divisions, representing Germany, Holland, Belgium, Britain, France, and even Poland. There are infantry, fortresses, tanks (Panzers), parachutists, and more.
There are 4 options (plus a random choice) for the French player (either human or AI):
- Dyle plan – the default (and historical) option, with the best allied armies poised to march through Belgium to counter the expected German attack.
- Escaut plan – same deployment as Dyle, only differs for the AI player, as this was a more cautious, limited advance into Belgium.
- No B.E.F. – hypothetical scenario where Britain is neutral.
- Reserves – the French 7th army was originally meant to be a strategic reserve, instead of the extreme left of the Allied line. This option puts it in reserve near Paris.
The German player has 5 options (plus the random one), again either human or AI:
- Manstein plan – the default option is the famous historical sickle cut through the Ardennes.
- Hadler plan – Original plan was a variant on the old Schlieffen plan only on a broad front in Belgium and Holland.
- Belgium plan – This was a concentrated thrust through Belgium, which would have met the Dyle plan head on.
- Compromise – Hitler proposed a compromise plan, which had a secondary thrust through the Ardennes, with the main effort in Belgium.
- A Strasburg hypothetical plan puts Panzergruppe Kleist, backed up by 7th Army reinforced with 3 infantry corps attacking South of Strasburg through the Maginot line!

It was halfway good, but the update of 16 January has killed it: now, it doesn’t load on our Retina Mini. Please fix it?
Do not buy. Not only does game crash but it actually crashes our IPAD and our IPAD has to reboot. Please fix this or refund our $2.99.
Great game with lots of replay ability. Very few bugs and never crashes. Although our one complaint is that supply is odd and we do not understand it so we have units that are doing just fine that are out of supply so they cannot attack. Overall a great game that is worth the money. Cannot wait for more games by this developer.
Must buy for military history buffs. This game is huge and has tons of combinations of setups so you can play it over and over. There menu options are very basic and the graphics are low quality but we’ve never had any technical issues.
Words are too small to read on both iPad and iPhone. Cant play the game.
We are an Avalon Hill fanatic, so we had great hopes for this game. However, Ill never find out. From the minute we loaded it we suspected we were in trouble – NO LANDSCAPE MODE! Making it impossible to view enough of the map without getting a magnifying glass. Tabs at bottom were unreadable and thus useless. Do not buy!!!
Won the battle of Sedan with French armor; stopped the fall of France; saved the Belgians with the British Expenitionary; Dutch surrendered too early. Now we will try the other historically accurate offense and defense plans… Maybe even randomize them for fun. One problem: save a lot because it crashes.
The free games were excellent but the scope and replayability for this one make it completely worth the purchase price. We’re a huge fan of all of the games from this developer and have bought them all.
A very playable implementation of an Avalon Hill or older SPI style board game. AI is a reasonably competent opponent. We’ve had no technical challenges (bugs, etc.) with this game. A little more information for the player (detailed post-battle and turn stats) would be helpful, particularly after the opposing player’s turn.
Its a strategically fun game but we cant figure out how to get supplies to the units with no supplies!
Plays like the Avalon Hill board games from the seventies and the SSI computer games from the 80’s. We’ll buy every WWII game that is created. Needs some background music and a little better view into the AI’s turn.
Goes about half a turn and crashes. Tried to save often but got to be too much of a hassle. Interesting game wished it worked. IPad Air.
This looks like a great game. We’ve played the Poland and Sicily titles and loved them. However, this game won’t go past the resolution choice screen – it locks up and forces us to reboot. Please fix it guys – we really want to play this one!
Every time we try to use this we have to pick low resolution, the game attempts to load, then it crashes… Really wanted it, a few years ago played the PC version, which was a great game. To bad we can’t find out about the IPad version…
This app freezes at the resolution screen and then reboots the iPad. Wargame Poland works well. This needs to be fixed.
We played two full rounds against the ai. Everything seemed to work smoothly and it is an interesting game. We’re glad to see a wargame come out on iPhone. The mechanics are great and smooth. Unfortunately, after two games the game crashed. When ever we try to open it, it shows the loading screen for abt 10 secs before crashing. Please fix this. Sad to see a good game spoiled by technical issues. Would have been five stars.
Enjoyed Poland 1939. Bought this. Doesn’t load. Boo. Please fix and update!
