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.

2017-05-11(A) Jeff B vs David Garvin German winThe German blitzkrieg was just too much for the French to handle. Armed with plenty of toys and a 9-2 AL, they were able to eliminate the last infantry unit and all AFVs on the west side of the stream by Turn 4. Only a couple French leaders and a couple squads had managed to sneak away to the other side of the stream, and the only thing standing in the Germans' way was the gun. A well-placed DC ended their days on a CH, and would've destroyed the bridge if it wasn't for the unit being CX when placing it. After that the Panzer rolled across, parking himself in front of one the groups of Frenchies and managed to deliver yet another CH, putting an end to their existence. The last band of Frenchmen put up the white flag after that. Great scenario.
