Overview:

The River Meuse was the last major natural obstacle preventing an armored breakout from the Ardennes. It was imperative for the Germans that a number of viable crossings be established before the Allies could re-group. One of three such crossings on the 13th occurred just below Dinant, where Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division breached the defenses. During the night of the 12th, a German motorcycle patrol had crossed the river, sans cycles, on an intact weir near the village. Once they were discovered, the weir was destroyed behind them and bitter French counterattacks threatened to eliminate the tiny bridgehead. The Germans were so shaken by their heavy casualties that Rommel took personal command of the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Regiment to resume the crossing attempt during the morning. . .

2014-11-12(A) Russell Dewhurst vs Gordon French win
2014-05-25(A) Gordon Jupp vs Jeremy Shields German winAnother one I had wanted to play since my SL days! I managed to X one of the field phones and drew two reds for the other OBA module so from turn two had no OBA support! However the Pz IV's did manage smoke at crucial points and Rommel did a sterling job with the MG kill stack to keep the French on the back foot allowing the crossing to be made relatively unhindered - even managed to get one of the Pz II's across on the raft :)
