The Scenarios Scenario List Scenario Overviews Historical Timeline of Events III. Bibliography I. Design Notes Panzer Campaigns: France ‘40 By David Guégan From History to Creating the Game Since the introduction of the first Panzer Campaigns Series game in 1999, Smolensk '41, the debate and speculation upon future game titles amongst our loyal patrons grew not only in its depth of the recreated battlefield but also its breadth. The title, Sedan ’40, was frequently suggested, but the responses on the forums were usually "too big, too many units, or not enough information." When HPS Simulations produced Kursk ’43, I knew the Panzer Campaigns Series had the breadth and the title was broadened to France ’40. So, how did I get it started? I have been a player of the Panzer Campaigns Series since 2000. Being French, I have always wanted to see the 1940 France Campaign recreated. I decided to contact John Tiller in late 2003 and ask him if he would be interested. After a few e-mails exchanges, I was able to convince him with my knowledge, research on the battles that took place and the Order of Battle for the French and Belgians I had compiled, we could recreate the Battle of France in the breadth and depth it deserved. After reading Blitzkrieg-Legend by Colonel Karl-Heinz Frieser, I was comfortable we could make an interesting game.

It had the virtue of being unlikely from a defensive point of view , as the Ardennes was heavily wooded and implausible as a route for a mechanized invasion. After a campaign lasting less than two months France was forced to sue for peace and an armistice was signed on 22 June However, von Rundstedt would have none of it and refused to confirm the order. The RAF also provided air cover, denying the Luftwaffe an opportunity to attack the shipping. If there is one section of the Battle of France where the French are unfairly critiqued, other than the idea of cowardly behavior present in anti-French popular stereotypes, it is in regards to their tanks. The Free French airmen were part of the first casualties of Day-D. But the Battle of France did not end here. Both in the south and the north they could in reality muster but a handful of tanks. This might lead to a strategic collapse of the enemy, avoiding the relatively high number of casualties normally caused by a Kesselschlacht cauldron battle. U of California Press. It all made perfect sense, and the French had planned, examined, and analyzed it for two decades.

TNP3 / SUBPROJECT 2: Languages for Enhanced Opportunities on the European Labour Market
TNP3 / SUBPROJECT 2: Languages for enhanced opportunities on the European labour market NATIONAL REPORT ON BELGIUM Limburgs Universitair Centrum Updated: Universiteit Hasselt, 13.03.2007 1 INTRODUCTION Belgium is located in the heart of Northern Europe and has 10.309.725 inhabitants1 and a total surface area of 32.545 km². Founded in 1831, Belgium is a constitutional, hereditary monarchy. Today Belgium is a true federal state, reorganized into three Regions: Flanders (13.522 km2, 5.972.781 inhabitants), Wallonia (16.844 km2, 3.358.560 inhabitants) and the Brussels Capital Region (161,4 km2, 978.384 inhabitants) and three Communities (French, Dutch and German speaking population) each with their own legislative and executive competences. The regions are competent for all territory-linked matters (economy, envirnment, …), whereas the communities are responsible for all person- linked matters (education, culture, …). The Flemish region and Dutch-speaking community have formed one government: the Flemish government (residence in Brussels). The other regions and communities, have separate governments. As a result of this, Belgium counts 6 governments (federal state, region of Brussels and of Wallonia, French-speaking and German-speaking communities and the Flemish government). The actual population growth rate is 0.16% with a birth rate of 10.59 births/1,000 population and the net migration rate amounts to 1.23 migrant(s)/1,000 population. For males life expectancy at birth is 75.42 years, whereas for female it is 81.67 years (2004 est.). 2 ECONOMY - EMPLOYMENT 2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Belgium may only represent 1 % of the total surface of the European Union2 and 2.7 % of the European population; the economic position of Belgium in the EU is nevertheless a lot more significant.

I Exploring the Relationship Between Paleobiogeography, Deep-Diving
Exploring the Relationship between Paleobiogeography, Deep-Diving Behavior, and Size Variation of the Parietal Eye in Mosasaurs By Andrew M. Connolly Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. __________________________________ Stephen T. Hasiotis, Chairperson __________________________________ Rafe M. Brown __________________________________ Jennifer A. Roberts Date Defended: March 25, 2016 i The Thesis Committee for Andrew M. Connolly certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Exploring the Relationship between Paleobiogeography, Deep-Diving Behavior, and Size Variation of the Parietal Eye in Mosasaurs __________________________________ Stephen T. Hasiotis, Chairperson Date Approved: March 25, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Andrew M. Connolly, M.S. Department of Geology, March 2015 University of Kansas The parietal eye (PE) in modern squamates (Reptilia) plays a major role in regulating body temperature, maintaining circadian rhythms, and orientation via the solar axis. This study is the first to determine the role, if any, of the PE in an extinct group of lizards. We analyzed variation in relative size of the parietal foramen (PF) of five mosasaur genera to explore the relationship between PF size and paleolatitudinal distribution. We also surveyed the same specimens for the presence of avascular necrosis—a result of deep- diving behavior—in the vertebrae. Plioplatecarpus had the largest PF followed by Platecarpus, Tylosaurus, Mosasaurus, and Clidastes. A weak relationship exists between paleolatitudinal distribution and PF size among genera, as Plioplatecarpus had the highest paleolatitudinal distribution (~78°N) and the largest PF among genera.

ZALOGA © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS Introduction 4 Chronology 8 Design and Development 10 Technical Specifications 22 The Combatants 27 The Strategic Situation 46 Combat 50 Statistics and Analysis 71 Conclusion 76 Further Reading 78 Index 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION This book examines the confrontation between two of the best battle tanks of the 1940 campaign, the French Somua S 35 and the German PzKpfw III. The duel forming the centrepiece of this book is history’s first great tank-versus-tank battle, the fighting at Hannut-Merdorp in Belgium on 12–13 May 1940. It is difficult today to recall the perspective of European tank designers of the late 1930s. Tank-versus-tank combat in World War II was so commonplace that it leads to the presumption that the tanks developed before 1939 had this type of combat as a primary technical requirement. In fact, this was not the case, especially with respect to the tanks built at the start of the arms race in the mid-1930s. While tanks were used in large numbers in the final year of fighting during World War I, there was only one known instance of tank-versus-tank combat. The primary function of tanks since World War I was to provide fire support to the infantry in overcoming enemy defensive positions, especially enemy machine-gun nests and trenches. As a result, tanks were armed with weapons appropriate to this mission, usually machine guns or low-velocity guns firing HE (high-explosive) projectiles.
