Overview:

VASL setup file under USER FILES . . .The 13th of May was the day on which the French front started to crumble. The German 19th Panzerkorps crossed the Meuse River to the east and west of Sedan. General Huntzinger, commanding the French 2nd Army, decided to evacuate the defense line from Sedan to the village of Villy. On the 15th of May, around 0500, and after a preparation by the German 171.Artillerie-Regiment, the first soldiers of the German 191.Infanterie-Regiment crossed the Chiers River. Around 1100, the commander of the casement at Villy West, without waiting for orders, opened fire with the 75mm cannon.
Attacker: German (III/Infanterie-Regiment.191, 71.Infanterie-Division)
Defender: French (Elements of 1er Bataillon, 23ème Régiment d’Infanterie Coloniale)

2022-01-15(D) Simon Staniforth vs French winA v close game coming down to 2x CC in the final turn. French moral proved resilient against the OBA so they retained control of the village into the final turn and the German moral waivered just when they needed to get more squads and leaders adjacent for the final CCs. A good close fun game
2021-11-13(A) Richard Jenulis vs Dennis Hess German winOBA, a 9-2 and a 8-3-8! The German OBA came down and blasted the French out of the stone building stronghold. The 9-2 flanked right. The French called the game on turn 4 with only 2 HS left.
2021-11-12(A) Will Willow vs Matt Evans German winFrench got diced in this one. Called after 3 turns. NTSO RD 1
2021-10-21(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German winThis turned out to be a very close and exciting game, although it didn't look like that early on. Any way they approach, the Germans have a lot of open ground, little cover (with a French mortar firing into woods) and many French MG fire lanes to cross. And when my OBA observer, who didn't have a great field of view anyway, got shot dead by the French sniper things looked grim!
Nevertheless, I pressed on with the plan of just a holding action on the right (East side) while my main force took the longer route round to the West where the French looked weaker. In fact the East side collapsed completely with the French moving forward and taking many prisoners! But I achieved my aim as they were not able to move enough forces across to reinforce the West, and - aided by a couple of heroes that I managed to create - the Germans took the last building they needed on the final player-turn (all building on/west of Row D = 58 VPs - just enough!). The dice graphs showed us pretty even, although I got some useful rolls at just the right time, with infantry smoke and particularly in clearing that last building with a snakeyes shots in my final AFPh! Overall I'd still say this is a pretty tough one for the Germans.
