Overview:

In contrast to their comrades to the west, the French Aisne River front held firm against the German attacks in May. The 14éme division d’infanterie, one of the best French units, manned the front bear Rethel. On 30 May, a reconnaissance in force was launched by its 35th Regiment toward the village of Amagne held by the Germans. This attack was successful in pushing back the Germans, and afterwards the French retired to their starting positions south of the Aisne River except for a platoon commanded by Lieutenant Gehin, which remained concealed in an isolated farm. The goal was to lure the Germans into thinking the area was empty of French troops and catch them off-guard in an ambush. The plan worked well initially but the German were soon launching an attack on the farm with two infantry companies, supported by a light AT gun. The barn caught fire, and the fight lasted all night. The morning of 31 May found the encircled platoon still stubbornly repulsing German attacks. At noon, the French launched an attack by 3éme Compagnie to try to rescue the last elements of Gehin’s platoon.

2023-01-21(A) David Garvin vs Ryan Dukeman French winThis was a fun game. The French were able to reinforce the barn in force, securing the win.
2023-01-21(D) Ryan Dukeman vs David Garvin French win
2022-06-15(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Melnikov French winGermans lost 5 squads in 1:1 Melees, killing only one French HS trying to capture the barn. German delaying force didn't stood long under the "one shot - one break" fire. Good day for French.
2022-06-14(D) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist French win
2022-04-10(A) Vic Lauterbach vs John Richert German winMy plan to move out of the woods to the east then north along the hexrow L hedge was foiled by John's firelanes and generally stout defense. Meanwhile, I overestimated the ability of Lt Gehin's platoon to hold out. They were quickly overwhelmed in CC. This is a challenging and fun scenario for both sides with a lot of replay value.
