Overview:

In the early hours of May 13, Rommel pushed units of his Panzer-Division 7 across the Meuse River in the vicinity of Dinant, where they clung to a shaky foothold. While infantry were able to cross on boats, Rommel's tanks would have to cross on a ferry until a bridge could be built. That evening, under cover of darkness, Schutzen-Regiment 7 succeeded in reaching Onhaye where it overran several French positions. The next morning Rommel received a wireless transmission which proclaimed Schutzen-Regiment 7 was "encircled". Rommel, fearing for the safety of his tenuous foothold, ordered Panzer-Regiment 25 to take every available tank and race to their aid.

2022-05-25(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso French winI slowed down the attacking germans, the mines immobilized one tank and destroyed another, a CH from an ATR bagged a third and a forth was killed by a 25LL.
Federico rolle 3 boxcars on rally and gave me more points. I won for CVP cap on the sixth turn.
Difficult defence and difficult attack to mount.
2022-05-01(A) Neal Ulen vs Scott German winVery good scenario. The Germans juuuuuust eeked out a victory by securing their 5th multi-hex building on the final CC roll of the game. I think this scenario can be a tough one for the Germans if they don't leverage the smoke dischargers in their AFVs (all 5 of them have them), and the Mild Breeze blowing from the NE. I was able to place drifting smoke all over the boards every movement phase covering the German approaches. So always check the scenario wind rule, make the wind rolls, and pop smoke every chance you get. Even then the Germans barely won in a tense game with lots of wild things happening (including double boxcars in a close combat).
2022-01-30(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron French win
2021-08-07(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins French win
2021-08-07(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best French winReally fun scenario. My French 10-2 managed to break the German 9-2 kill stack and slow down the initial German attack. The Germans were stalled trying to get across the stream and take victory locations. The French AT Guns got one tank before both were lost. The Armored car took took at a tank before it was knocked out and my infantry immobilized and locked a third tank in Melee. Infantry losses had accumulated and by turn 6, the Germans had lost 25 CVP and that was game and a French victory.
