Overview:

At 13:00 hours, Major Bricart, the commanding officer of the 5th Company, received orders for the 1er Régiment de Chasseurs Ardennais to hold their positions in Bodange for as long as possible. Shortly after 14:00 hours, the position on Stein Hill fell and German forces were beginning to encircle the village to the north and the south. At his command post just outside of Bodange on the road to Fauvillers, Major Bricart waited for an order to withdraw his company.

2022-05-13(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Belgian win
2022-05-13(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Belgian winDan went with an in my face upfront defense in U11. I rolled poorly enough that the 9-2 and 4-5-8 with the MMG won the game on Turn 4 after destroying both of my armored cars and KIA'ing a squad and a half in CC. We played until the end and the Germans cleared the road in the final CC, but the game was already won by the Belgian 4-5-8. A single squad won the game for Dan.
2020-11-12(A) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler Belgian winStatic defense for the Belgians.

I played this one a bit poorly; Rob's defense was solid. He decided to put his 9-2 with
both MMG. A couple of lucky TH rolls and I had two burning AC.

A good one to solitaire, as the Belgians don't have a lot of things to do, and can't skulk
too much as there really isn't a lot of cover.

2019-12-06(A) O Ramaille vs German winProbably the least interesting scenario of the pack imho. The German troops turned the Belgian defense North through the hill with the armored cars wreaking havoc. Devilish mortar fire killed a green squad in a wooden building. The rest of the defense was easily surrounded and crushed. Only 3 CVP gained for the Belgians.
