Overview:

VASL setup file under USER FILES . . . After a week of fighting around Stonne, the 3rd Division d'Infanterie Motorisée, a good division from the active Army, was nearly worn out. On the German side, its opponents, the 10.Panzer-Division and Infanterie-Regiment "Grossdeutschland", had been removed from the front and fresh units were now on the line. Subjected to a bombardment during the night intermingled with smoke rounds, the defenders of Cendriere’s Farm, on the east side of Stonne, did not see the advance of the first elements of the 16.Infanterie-Division coming at them. At the end of the night the attack began with some Germans already in contact with the farm.

2022-01-11(D) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger French winWe both reckoned this is tough for the Germans. Assuming we understood SSR3 correctly, the German smoke disappears at the start of their turn 2, when they still have a lot of ground - most of it open - still to cover to reach the victory buildings. In our game the German Assault Engineers and 9-2 leader set up close to building xP7 and captured it very easily. Other German troops entering from the north however were raked by IFE from the HIP AA gun in xH2 and look heavy losses. Other German troops approaching from the East also found the going tough, but eventually took building 72S2 after a series of failed French MCs. By turn 5 it looked as thought they had a chance to capture two more buildings as well, but some good French shooting (plus a deadly sniper shot that killed the leader accompanying the German turn 4 reinforcements) tipped the Germans over the CVP cap during the last French turn. We were left wondering if there is a better German attacking strategy that we failed to find.
