I have found a map error on the campaign map (WDS version) of France 40. Hex 264, 408 does not have a river hexside (north) connecting the Meuse together.
Also, when playing the manual bridge blowing, was it intended that the one turn engs, if they aren't used to be able to be used on a later day after the Germans have passed by? Also could it be possible when placing these eng units and they are placed on an enemy unit they be destroyed?
Thanks having fun trying to stem the German tide.

Hi Zorts75,
Thank you for your feedback. We will make the correction to the map and get it released with the next update.
For the bridge demolition teams - it is possible that the German units may pass a bridge before the arrival of demolition, though in most cases it is unlikely. It is not possible to have the engineer detachments be destroyed if they arrive in a hex that the German player occupies.

Re: France 40
Other map errors on the WDS map:
Bruay-la- Buissière 84-335:
Did not exist before 1987, and named after the merging of La Buissière and Bruay-en-Artois. Already reported in early 2022 by email.
Les Paradis 92-322 :
Wrong name, should be spelled Le Paradis. Already reported in early 2022 by email. Widely known as a place where the SS totenkopf shot down 97 POW.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Paradis_massacre
Baizieux 141-323 :
Wrongly spelled. The correct name is Baisieux. The real Baizieux exist, but in the Somme département.
Coudekerque-Branche 72-273
The city seems misplaced, and could be relocated at 71-276 (SE of Dunkerque)
Still at Dunkerque : 2 cities have been merged with Dunkerque since then, named Malo-les-Bains in 1970 (72-273) and Rosendaël in 1972 (71-275). Up to you to restore them or not.
Dunkerque, again, Zuydcoote (73-273) is missing. On a side note, a movie named Week-end à Zuydcoote, was released in 1964, with the battle of Dunkerque as background, and my dad played in it.

Linguistic mistakes in Belgium according to the Fr/NL communities rules :
Moeskoren 139-308:
Double mistake.
1/ the city belongs to the French speaking Belgium (communauté francophone de Wallonie) and thus could be named Mouscron
2/ The Dutch speaking name is also wrong as it should be spelled Moeskroen.
Steenput 141-311:
Same thing, the city belongs to Wallonia and thus could be named Estaimpuis.
Herzeeuw 139-310:
Same thing, the city belongs to Wallonia and thus could be named Herseaux.
Dottenijs 145-309:
Same thing, the city belongs to Wallonia and thus could be named Dottignies.
Evernijs 143-310:
Same thing, the city belongs to Wallonia and thus could be named Evregnies
Menin 131-301:
The city belongs to the NL speaking Flanders, and thus could named Menen

Re: France 40
To tack on one more little issue, is there a reason that Leopoldsburg (303, 267) starts off mined? The allied player takes casualties if he attempts to move his units off that hex.
Re: France 40
I would like to add in #1517.02, looks like the HQ for the German 20th Motorized infantry div is missing...
