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.

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.
2020-02-15(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Barsness Belgian winDown to the last turn! Assault Engineers laid down lots of smoke. The Germans got across the bridge without trouble but the Belgium gun and AFV's held the day for the Allied Minors.
2018-11-02(D) X von Marwitz vs Peter Veenstra Belgian winGrenadier 2018. Played this as the Belgians this time. The German bridge crossing attempt was a massacre as they could not suppress the Belgian MMG. My Belgians fired on the would-be crossers during their MPh, then in Final Fire after the Infantry Smoke had cleared and caused yet more casualties by Interdiction during the RtPh. When the Germans finally managed to cross, they had lost many units. The tanks and the AA Gun were in position at the 2nd line of defence where they still held when the Belgian infantry was there to bolster the defence and to plug holes where the Germans seemed to push most. Belgian win.
