Overview:

Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division on a bypass bumped into units protecting the Belgian southern flank. This lightly-held part of the Belgian defense was occupied by units of the 10th Motorcycle Company, which had been scattered into three different defensive strongholds. At 1440, German motorcyclists appeared on the road, immediately triggering fire from the Belgian platoon. . .

2023-07-30(D) David Ramsey vs Stuart Brant Belgian winGermans dismounted too early and despite making good progress for a couple of turns couldn't push strong enough on to the roadblock. I had 2 blacks/1 red so dropped the mortar and took the extra AFVs - in hindsight a squad and MMG might have been better.
2023-07-14(A) Shane Pask vs Belgian winBelgians had 2 tanks (lost the mortar, gained a leader and a tank) - I took one out with the ATR and the other with a MMG before my tanks even arrived. My air support did not arrive until turn 6 then missed a sighting check turn 7. My sniper fatally wounded his 9-2 early then his sniper wounded my 9-2. I failed again to remove the roadblock. Also took too long to reach it. I think I should ride all the bikes right up to the roadblock and take the casualties coming to me.
2023-07-01(D) Louis Langdeau vs Lee M Belgian winGreat scenario! I lost two and gained one on the variable force allocation. I set up with a weak left flank, though it was being guarded by my only tank in the woods and my bunker pointing to that side. Early game resulted in a relatively cautious approach from Lee as he jumped off most of his bikes after riding them as far forward as he could in a single turn. The push went pretty well, with a lot of my troops breaking or having relatively little effect on their defensive shots. Lee's positioning was also good, heavily swinging to my right once he saw that my bunker was covering the left. Lee's push was going well when his tanks arrived, and I foolishly dropped a shot at an early tank with my HIP tank. Lee immediately beelined around both sides with his other vehicles and torched it. At that point I started to pull back, with Lee using VBM freeze to lock up my covering units as I fell back. Through some miracle I managed to get enough troops back to guard the roadblock, and Lee's cautious early game turned into a liability. At the end of the game, I had two half squads still on the board, everything else either dead or captured. Thankfully, it was enough, since I extracted a reasonable toll, and managed to keep his units from removing the roadblock with a timeline melee.

A great scenario, and one I would absolutely play again.

2020-08-04(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Belgian winGermans were way too bold on the motorcycles at first, then diced until turn 3.
