Overview:

Wanting to continue his advance, in an effort to keep the Allies from regaining their footing, Rommel turned over the defence of the village to a battalion from Schützen-Regiment 14, 5.Panzer-Divison. With little time to consolidate its position, I./Schützen-Regiment 14 was unable to form a cohesive defence. Seizing the initiative, Lieutenant-General Rene Prioux, commander of Corps de Cavalerie, gathered up a squadron of Somua S-35 tanks and a battalion of motorized infantry from the 1ère Division légère mécanique, and with some artillery support launched a hasty counterattack at 17:00 hours.

2024-01-01(A) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall French winThe French must use the first free OBA mission for smoke. The Germans should use their AT guns on the flanks to prevent the halftrack infantry from getting behind them.
2022-12-09(D) Jim Bishop vs David Blackwood French winThis is a tough one on the French, particularly in trying to eliminate the S35's. In my playing, I concentrated on punishing the French Infantry. I also managed to eliminate two of the hts limiting French mobility. Was a close game to the end with two key CC's going the German way for the win.
2022-12-09(D) Mark Thompson vs Tony Gibson (French) French winThe Germans held on until their last player turn and conceded when a broken squad in their 3rd controlled building could not successfully withdraw from CC. The German AT guns were bedeviled by fate (both malf’d, one on its first shot at an S-35 rear, the other after scratching the paint on an S-35s front), but much more so by their placement - too conservative (in the village) and unable to interdict the Lorraines approaching the village from the West and North. The French skillfully used the S-35s to contain the German MMGs while their mounted troops encircled the village. In retrospect, it was probably a foregone conclusion by Turn 3, but the ensuing building assaults and CCs were entertaining. Good game, fun scenario.
