Overview:

The Grossdeutschland Regiment, after some hard fighting and a harder march north, had finally taken the village of Stonne, the pivot of the German flank movement from Sedan. Exhausted, the German infantry were now the target for one of the few determined French counterattacks of the entire campaign. Supported by infantry from the 3rd Motorized Division, an element of the 3rd Armored Division hurled itself at Stonne. It promised to be a hard day for the Grossdeutschland.
Attacker: French (45ème and 49ème Bataillons de Chars de Combat, 3ème Division Cuirassée and 51ème Régiment d'Infanterie, 3ème Division d'Infanterie Motorisée)

2023-11-26(A) Shane Pask vs German winSo close! Both sides had 8 VP a the end. Neither side could hit the side of barn for the first few turns. I finally captured the chateau on turn 6 but had trouble getting into the town.
2022-12-11(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winMy French made good progress until last two Turns. In the end I did not move quick enough to clinch the VC buildings on last Turn. Close, very close but failed.
2022-07-27(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers German winPlayed over multiple vASL sessions. Very tense, exciting match all the way through, as a skilful attack eventually foundered on a resolute defence. My opponent conceded at the end of French turn 8 after his right flank push collapsed. Despite the strong armour on those French tanks, by the end only one mobile one was left, and that with a busted MA. Really enjoyable, superb scenario.
2022-06-04(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2022-06-04(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's French attacked in a huge Schwerpunkt and went after the chateau. The French tanks were very effective, but the Germans were able to KIA 11-1/2 of the French squads. By the end of Turn 5, the French conceded as their infantry were out of gas.
