Overview:

Lt. Colonel Guffet was determined to push his 4th Senegalese Regiment into the heart of the city. Toulon was an important historic landmark for the 4th Senegalese, as the regiment had been garrisoned in the city from 1922 to 1939. As the 2nd Company pushed towards the heights overlooking La Valette to make contact with the African Commandos, Guffet regrouped the rest of the battalion as quickly as possible within the city for further operations in the direction of the arsenal. The 1st Company was ordered to infiltrate the Sainte-Anne district and the 3rd Company was to remain in reserve. With Captain Vial's 1st Company engaged to the west of some villas on the Tour Blanche hillocks, Captain Nogret of the 3rd Company elected to send a platoon on a recon mission towards the Grignan barracks. As 1st Company attempted to bypass the German troops to the north, strong counterattacks by small groups of aggressive enemy soldiers halted its progress and threatened to overwhelm Captain Nogret's platoon.

2025-02-16(D) Rich Worden vs Jim German winThe defensive-minded initial Free French setup allowed the Germans to quickly move into positions that offered MG fire lanes along the boulevards through Toulon that needed to be traversed by the approaching Senegalese trucks and taxis. Initial small successes of those fire lanes discouraged the Free French from moving forward aggressively enough. By scenario's end the two forces were fully engaged, but the Germans were successful in a few close combats, and still retained more buildings than they'd started with.
2024-02-19(D) Pascal Boileau vs Laurent Tinture German winProbably the best scenario of the pack. A very tense endgame with a lot of low rolls for the Germans breaking (or even wiping) the poor Free French trying to reach the buildings. In the last German turn a MMC jumped on the north map and was successful to remain in good order until the end. Without these guys, it was a French victory but with them, it was a German one... Finally, the issue of the game was decided on one dice roll, a really close game !
2019-05-12(D) Peter Palmer vs John Knowles German win
