Overview:

The Belgians were hoping to fight along the Albert Canal for five or six days, but found their line penetrated, their defences collapsed, and ordered the withdrawal back to the Dyle Line. Pressed by the advancing elements of the German 4.Panzerdivision, the Belgian 7ème Division d’Infanterie was forced to fight a rearguard action.

2021-03-01(A) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel German winThe German panzer rushed forward and met few resistance. An AT gun destroyed a Panzer before being destroyed and another was burned as a result of a failed overrun. The German decided to pay back, but most of the German vehicular guns malfed. Furthermore, the few broken Belgian turned Berserk and threatened a German crew that did abandoned his panzer. After the death of an entire assault engineer squad and the activity of the Belgian sniper, the German decided to stop the fight and exit the area for victory. Seven panzers exited but 4 of them with malfed guns. A strange victory with a bitter taste of defeat with too much casualties, giving away one VP.
2021-03-01(D) Macari Samuel vs O Ramaille German win
2020-09-06(D) Gordon Jupp vs Derek Cox Belgian winClose game in so far as that the Germans exited 22 of the required 25 for victory..... but..conceded 48 CVP so major win for the Belgians in the campaign... seems tough on the German but maybe a more cautious approach is required?
2020-08-09(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winEven though I ended up winning, it came at a high cost for the Germans. Dan and I are playing through the Campaign Game (playing the scenarios in order) so I am slightly behind after two scenarios even after winning the first two. Germans need to pick a side to exit. I was too spread out and all the Belgium guns came into play picking off the lightly armored tanks and eliminating the trucks
2020-08-09(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske German win
