Description

A wargame in French published in 1982.

It's about the general Patton and the 3rd US army liberating Metz on the way to attack the Saarland.

It's a small scale little wargame with hex and counters. It's based on usual rules from that time: zones of control, communication lines, combat table based on attack vs defense ratio.
One hex is for 3 km - 2 miles.
There are 130 counters and 111 represent battalions, regiments or "Combat Command".
The main goal is to cross the German defense - the west wall - behind the Saar river.

It was available in a ziplock bag.
The counters are mounted on a thin cardboard.
The map quality is good - but of course looking like other games from the 80s.
