Overview:

By the evening of 15 May, advance elements of Reinhardt's 6th Panzer Division had more the made up for the three days' waiting at the Meuse; they were farther west than any other German units, having raced a record-breaking 40 miles in one day. It was the fate of the French 2nd Armoured Division that Reinhardt's 6th Panzer Division was heading for Signy too. The Germans blundered right through the middle of the division and by the morning of 16 May, the 2nd Armoured Division was split in two and scattered across the countryside. The attack on Guise began at first light on 17 May. As the panzers of Oberleutnant Dr. Bäke rumbled forward, the French heavy tanks opened fire from positions at the edge of the town. The few still operational anti-tank guns fired on the enemy tanks, whose muzzle flashes betrayed their positions. "Panzers Forward, maximum speed!" called Bäke.

2022-10-15(D) nathan wegener vs Paul Works French winCouldnt hit anything in turn 1. German swarmed French right. Char on that flank took out 2 Pz before a CH stopped it. Other Char was able to manoeuvre in turn 1& 2 to plant itself in the middle of 3 Pz. It took out one of them and sent the others running. This broke up the German attack timeline and slowed Kraut infantry. I generated 2 French heroes and that was enough to slow them enough to hold enough buildings to win. One hero went a street fighting and bagged a Pz as well!
2022-10-15(A) Paul Works vs Nathan Wegener French win
2020-05-23(D) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winSurprisingly fun for a scenario that went badly for my defenders from the start. Really evokes the 1940 "everything that can go wrong will" feeling! Both Char Bs took CHs trying to maneuver. French infantry and 25LL put up a good fight.
2020-01-11(D) Ric Hammond vs James Quin German winUnbalanced. Did not know until game was over by Turn 3
2019-08-31(A) Will Willow vs Fred Schwarz German winVASL
