| 2025-01-19 | (D) Jason Nichols | vs | Rob MacGinley | German win | Not a lot of options for the French. Got one shot off with the MG in the chateau before both crews broke, never to rally. One shot from the 155mm before it was over-run. Was lucky with a shot from the 25mm that destroyed the Pz II but worked out that 25mm is pretty useless against infantry. Made a dash over the bridge with a leader to bolster the HMG in line with the bridge. Rob's use of smoke to blind the French on the southern bank allowed him to position his kill stacks that then broke my defenders. My last surprise of the hidden 25mm in the wheat field was not sufficient to prevent his from taking his objective. | ||

| 2020-10-25 | (D) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | French win | Although the ART 155 didn't last long on board, the initial fire from it with the supporting troops adding to the German misery. Maintaining ROF with the HMGs phase after phase did much at keeping the Germans broken and DM while slowly grinding their squads down for the needed CVP. | ||
| 2020-10-25 | (A) Dwayne Duval | vs | Kevin Duval | French win | The well placed French defenses forward of the bridge refused to give any ground while keeping the Germans broken and disorganized in the grainfield until they had earned 25 CVP without a single German unit stepping foot on the bridge. | ||
