Overview:

Responding to a German bridgehead over the river near Sedan, the French ordered two tank battalions to join two reserve infantry regiments for possible action. Unfortunately it took them all night to reach their assigned positions. The attack order was issued at 0500 the next morning, before two of the formations had arrived. Finally at 0730 the counterstroke, comprising only the 7th Tank Battalion and 213th Infantry Regiment, set out with no reconnaissance. In the meantime the 2nd Panzer Regiment was crossing the Meuse and rushing headlong to the front line in Kleckerweise (“penny packets”), one company at a time, against their own doctrine.
Attacker: French (III/213ème Régiment d'Infanterie and 1/7ème Bataillon de Chars de Combat)
Defender: German (Panzerjäger-Kompanie Grossdeutschland, and Kompanie 4 und 2, Panzer-Regiment 2)

2023-11-05(A) Shane Pask vs German winI underestimated the force required to reach hill 538 to avoid the German instant win conditions and therefore it was all over turn 5. The closest I got was one tank on level 1.
2023-01-29(A) Asad Rustum vs Jonas Björkqvist French winQuite tricky victory conditions that need to be read thoroughly. The French were able to hold on to enough hexes of the hill by turn 5, forcing the Germans to focus on the village in which the French had dug in.

2018-12-21(A) Gordon Jupp vs Neil Brunger French winGood fun again on my third playing (!) All out attack for the hill, leaving just a handful of green squads to hold the village...my dice were outrageous, just loads of 3's....called it on T6....
2018-05-01(D) Jeff B vs Pierce Mason German win2.5 hrsI am shocked at the German bias in the standings. Shocked. If the French can push the game past 5 turns I really don't see how the Germans can overcome that. That being said, our game was over by the middle of Turn 4 as the French only had two tanks on Level 2 and a swarm of German tanks able to surround them and dispatch them. I think the French need to go all-in on taking and holding the hill. Not one of my favorite scenarios with the typically weird Fortenberry VCs.
2015-10-05(D) Gordon Jupp vs Bill Owen German winASLOK 2015
2015-01-19(A) Andy Beaton vs Jeff M German winToo many village defenders meant the Germans were able to crush the force heading for the hill. Had a foothold, but the German tanks were too numerous to defeat.
2014-08-23(A) Gordon Jupp vs Nick Holmshaw French winWhat a cracking scenario! Really good fun, went for it as the French, all out attack to try and get the win by taking the hill...but Nick had his defence on board 10 really well organised and I got held up..not enough to stop me getting 2 level 2 hexes so avoiding the sudden death but sufficient for the game to go the full term..In response the French held the Germans such that they were unable to clear the village on board 1b and I held on for the win. All the French afv were destroyed and their infantry were much reduced so it was a great game and one which I really want to play again!
