Overview:

De Gaulle’s 4th Armored Division, called upon to eliminate the German bridgehead across the Somme at Abbeville, attacked on the 28th and succeeded in pushing the Germans back some four kilometers before halting for the night. The morale of the defending 57th Infantry Division was severely shaken by the failure of the 37mm anti-tank guns to make much of an impression on the French tanks. So, during the night, the Germans brought up artillery and AA guns to bolster their defenses. The French assault resumed just before dawn, approaching the hamlet of Villers-sur-Mareuil. . .
Attacker: French (2/24ème Bataillon de Chars de Combat and 5ème and 7ème Compagnies, 22ème Régiment d'Infanterie Coloniale with 46ème and 47ème BCC and 6ème Compagnie, 22ème RIC and 44ème BCC)
Defender: German (Kompanie 1, Infanterie-Regiment 179 and Batterie II, FlaKgruppe 64)

2023-04-08(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best French winThe French OBA managed to smoke the Germans in the Level 2 of the church for nearly 4 turns. This allowed a quick move to contact with minimal French breaks. The big tanks came into the game on Turn 4 and 2 were destroyed by the 88 before the 88 was MALF'd and then lost to dr 6 on the next repair attempt. The Germans were forced to fall back and then proceeded to lose two close combats and at the end of four turns had lost 4 squads. The French were going to get 6 locations in the next movement phase and then 6 more reinforcing squads. So after 5 full turns, the Germans conceded the game for a French win. The stack up of bad luck and French forces was too much for the Germans once the French got into the village with 12 tanks.
