"Miracle sur la Loire: Jeanne d'Arc Orl ans" is a mini-wargame included in "Vae Victis issue 30", released in honor of the film by Luc Bresson. This mini-wargame covers a year of campaigning--from September 1428 to September 1429--of the Hundred Years War at one week per turn. The English are on the offensive, trying to take the fortified castles of the Loire valley, as the French (under Joan of Arc et al) try to hold on and retake what they lose. A number of special events add color to the game. As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.
