About Old School Tactical: Volume 5 – Battle for France 1940, from BoardGameGeek:

Old School Tactical: Battle for France 1940 is a tactical boardgame that puts you in command during one of World War II's most pivotal early campaigns. Fast, deadly and unforgiving, it captures the chaos of blitzkrieg warfare as German forces surge through France and the Low Countries. Players control squads, tanks and support units across richly detailed maps, making split-second decisions that echo the real challenges of small-unit combat. From desperate rearguard actions to armored spearheads, every scenario is a test of strategy, timing, and nerve.
