Overview:

The German surprise attack through the Ardennes and over the Meuse River at Sedan had succeeded. The last chance for the French to avoid a total disaster was to destroy the bridgehead before too many German troops arrived. Though time was of the essence, it took more than half a day before the French counterattack started and even then the right flank was delayed. The Germans were as fast as the French were slow. Led by General Guderian, German forces were assembled within minutes and thrown towards the advancing French. As French tanks ran into German anti-tank guns, French infantry units recaptured the village of Connage. The Germans responded immediately and attacked the village with assault engineers supported by tanks.

2021-12-31(D) Indy Lagu vs Michael Wendlandt French winAs the French, my plan was to run away as fast as I could.
Jerry was unable to interdict my retreat, and I had too many
GO units on the other side of the stream.

The German balance is an extra DC. Perhaps they need an
extra HS?

If you have two people of unequal experience, give the newer
player the French.
2021-12-30(A) Indy Lagu vs Michael Wendlandt German winWe decided to turn this one around. Michael tried to
hold his ground with most of his French. Turned out to
be a mistake. The German 838 AE squads can move up
quite easily.

Again, I think it's tough on the Germans.
