Yvoir, Belgium 1940-05-12 (31 others)

Overview:

As the German blitzkrieg moved through the Ardennes, the Belgian Chasseurs d'Arrdgennais fought a series of delaying actions. They were pressured from every side, until they finally reached the Meuse. There they were forced to move northward to maintain contact with the rest of the Belgian Army. . . . . The scenario takes place before the main effort at Dinant, with a single bridge still standing across the river. Most of the Belgian force starts out strung out along the east bank, covered by a handful of west bank units. German units come from all sides: armored cars from the north, the bulk of their infantry from the south, and a few units can come in from the east. The Belgians have to get most of their CVP across the river (to aid in this effort, they have 6 wagons worth 3 CVP by SSR), then set DC on the bridge and blow it up. Otherwise the Germans win.
