Overview:

The Grossdeutschland Regiment, after some hard fighting and a harder march north, had finally taken the village of Stonne, the pivot of the German flank movement from Sedan. Exhausted, the German infantry were now the target for one of the few determined French counterattacks of the entire campaign. Supported by infantry from the 3rd Motorized Division, an element of the 3rd Armored Division hurled itself at Stonne. It promised to be a hard day for the Grossdeutschland.

2024-03-23(D) fabrizio da pra vs Alessandro Demichelis German winI was an incredible scenario, where we both rolled an incredible number of snakes.

Right away from the first turn it was maddness, I killed one of the french leader with the HMG and manage to break another with 2 squads, the broken leader and squads went into a house where another leader and a squad were waiting to rally them, but in my prep the HMG managed to break 2 squads and the broken leader rolled a snake on the NMC and went berserk bringing with him the other leader and 3 squads.
One of the 37L halftrack entering the map and going on an hill managed a crit on a Bis thank confirming it.
The French fired on my 9-2 with the HMG (in stone house) with the 75 of a bis tank and rolled a critical hit that killed my leader and halfsquad.
In the French secondo round the berserk stack with 2 leaders and 3 squads charged forward and on a 2-2 I rolled a snake, 2KIA, my opponent rolled for random selection and rolled a 4 on a leader and 1 1 1 1 on the others, all dead.
So on turn 2 the French was down to 2 leaders.
I went on like this for another 3 turns, with him burning one of my stugs with 9-2 on a bounding fire, anche me rolling another 2 snakes on his tanks burning another B1bis and 2 other tanks.
It was crazy, when I broke another French leader my opponent conceded.
He had lost 5 tanks, 1 immobilized, probably around 10 squads and 4 out of 5 leaders.

I lost on turn 1 the HMG, MMG (broken) and the 9-2.
On turn 2 another leader and a Stug.
2023-11-03(D) Camille Garek vs Jean-Pascal PAOLI French winAt least one turn too long, perhaps two.
It's always fun to see those B1bis in action.
A lot of toys to play with.
Gun towing.
