Overview:

In the early hours of May 13, Rommel pushed units of his Panzer-Division 7 across the Meuse River in the vicinity of Dinant, where they clung to a shaky foothold. While infantry were able to cross on boats, Rommel's tanks would have to cross on a ferry until a bridge could be built. That evening, under cover of darkness, Schutzen-Regiment 7 succeeded in reaching Onhaye where it overran several French positions. The next morning Rommel received a wireless transmission which proclaimed Schutzen-Regiment 7 was "encircled". Rommel, fearing for the safety of his tenuous foothold, ordered Panzer-Regiment 25 to take every available tank and race to their aid.
Attacker: German (Schutzen-Regiment 7, Panzer-Division 7, and Panzer-Regiment 25)

2022-04-24(D) Paul Legg vs Nick Ranson French winNick though he had more time than he actually did. His forces were in quite good order but delayed too long in crossing the stream.
2021-01-16(D) Andrew Young vs Derek Ritter French winTight game, Derek played very well with putting pressure on my defenses. He used his panzers effectively as well but for one mistake. Came down to essentially a CC roll. French went over the the 24CVP and won.
2020-10-31(D) Rob MacGinley vs Rodney Ding German winThe Germans Sliced thru the French defence with little to slow them
Lots of bad rolls for the French in depth
2020-08-11(A) Alberto González Ramírez vs Jake German winVery interesting scenario. Decided in the last turn.
