Overview:

On the morning of 17 May, Colonel Charles de Gaulle received orders to attack toward Montcornet with the hastily assembled 4e Division Cuirassée. De Gaulle gathered approximately 85 tanks for the operation and the French forces began moving toward Montcornet from their assembly positions. Around noon, French armored units reached the outskirts of Montcornet and began their advance into the town and surrounding areas. Initial progress was made as German anti-tank defenses were overwhelmed in some sectors.
Attacker: French (46e Bataillon de Chars de Combat, 6th Demi Brigade, 4e Division Cuirassée and 4e Bataillon de Chasseurs Portés, 6e Armée)
Defender: German (Schützen-Regiment 1, Pioneer-Bataillon 37, and Panzer-Regiment 2, Panzer-Division 1 and FlaK-Bataillon 59)

2025-11-15(D) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German win4 hrsLots going on in this. Gary always gives the players something to think about.

I think this one has a sudden death each game turn and a VC point scoring that is mostly clear but almost impossible to keep track of during the game (stone buildings worth their hex count, 3 points for 6 other hexes and CVP).
