Description
Built from 1930 to 1940 and at a cost of over 5 billion French Francs, the Maginot Line was a fortified line in depth, usually 25 to 25 kilometers deep. It consisted of an intricate system of strong points, fortifications, and military facilities such as border guard posts, communications centres, infantry shelters, barricades, artillery, machine gun, anti-tank gun emplacements, supply depots, infrastructure facilities, observation posts, etc. Most of each structure was underground with only the fighting elements exposed.  The line was intended to be an unassailable defensive barrier which would deter Germany from attacking France. In the end, the Germans sent most of their assault against France around the line. These counters and scenarios are intended to give us a chance to game historical and what-if attacks on the line itself. The parts which concern us for Panzer Leader purposes are the front line fortified strong points consisting of turrets, cupolas, and embrasures.
