Stonne village, France, 15 May 1940: The commander of IV Battalion, Major Schneider led a reconnaissance party into the village of Stonne. On the way all that could be seen were abandoned houses, ruins, and overgrown gardens. They were well aware of the high water tower that commanded the entire village. Moving forward, Schneider and his men passed a knocked out German panzer, tipped over in a ditch. Suddenly, rifle fire cracked from the direction of the tower. With the decisive hill lay only a few meters away, the party came under machine-gun fire from the edge of the woods. As Schneider's party grew with the addition of stragglers, thirty Frenchmen soon appeared, deployed for the attack. As the party headed back towards friendly lines through the gardens, several French tanks were seen heading for another part of the village. Artillery soon began to land in the village and the French tanks, earlier seen heading for parts unknown, turned their attention on Schneider and his men.

Historical Battlefield Maps is what Critical Hit is all about and the new large hex Stonne Heights 1940 continues that tradition in grand style. The game maps were created on-site by designer Pedro Ramis and the new edition of the map is 100% remastered, with additional terrain details not found in the previous version.
