Historical Context Sidebar
The bocage countryside of Normandy was infamous during WWII for its tightly packed hedgerows and sunken roads. These natural barriers slowed Allied progress during the D-Day invasion aftermath and led to close-quarters fighting. This flock blend replicates that environment, making it ideal for games set in rural France or similarly vegetated areas.
