Overview:

In 1935, the Belgian government agreed to purchase 25 French-built AMC 35 tanks, armed with a 47 mm gun and a Hotchkiss MG. Over the next years, for economic and political reasons, the order was reduced to only 10 vehicles. When Hitler’s army invaded Belgium on 10 May 1940, the AMC 35s were the best armored vehicles in the Belgian arsenal. By 16 May, German forces had broken through Belgian lines along the entire front and two of these tanks were about to charge into battle for the first time.

2021-04-28(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Tuomo L Belgian winA very close and enjoyable game. The Germans got hammered early but managed to get everybody across the river eventually, taking 7 buildings in their last turn, but getting stretched thin though this and the Belgians took back 2 buildings in their last turn to clinch the win.
2021-02-28(A) Will Willow vs C. Argent Belgian winLots of wild swings in dice. Went to the last turn.
2020-05-18(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Peter Rogneholt German winPlayed against Peter who was helpful, giving me tips and helped me remember important stuff, picking up SWs and so on. Then two decisive rolls were on my side and that tipped the scenario over to me. His crew, manning the gun broke early and after that, as revenge for a 3 on the IFT my sniper woke and got his 8-1 leader and broke the MG squad and with that, the left flank was open for my brave troops, liberating Belgium.

2020-05-17(D) Michael Rodgers vs Andy Beaton German winFound out a week after that I forgot to place the Belgian 75mm AA gun.
