Overview:

The Germans drive through the Ardennes Forest into Belgium progressed swiftly. Fighting was light and brief when it was encountered. Occasionally though, some Belgian units put up stiffer resistance and held up the German advance down the narrow, forest roads. Precious time could be gained the longer they could hold up the assault. Just outside of Rochefort, on May 12th, the Chasseurs Ardennes stopped a German column, and for a few hours gave it their best.

2025-06-30(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German winThe Belgian defense can't cover everything, and the Germans took advantage of that fact, pushing through the blind area to reach the hill while supporting elements set up on their hill and pushed on the right to prevent sneaky actions by the Belgians. An absurd number of snake eyes and boxcars were rolled (something along the lines of 8 and 12), with many of the positives happening for the Germans (who also converted on SAN 4 times) that ultimately led to a final turn blowout where the Belgians couldnt retreat anywhere and were eliminated through FtR and No Quarter.

An okay scenario, but one who's objective explains the somewhat absurd Win-Loss ratio.

2009-08-06(D) Andrea Tassi vs Rob MacGinley Belgian winNice scenario, plenty of unusual LOS. If the Germans can't manage to push the Gun in position, then it gets though for them.
