Overview:

On May 12th, the 7th Squadron of the 4th Lanciers and the 5th of the 3rd were hurriedly placed along the railway Tirlemont-Liege to fill the gap between the Belgian 2nd Cavalry and the French 12th Cuirassiers, west of Goosoncourt airfield. On the morning of the 13th, a deployed German infantry regiment closed on the Belgian positions. . . The VP are awarded to the Belgians at game end: 2VP for a squad and 1VP for a HS regardless of location; plus VP for AFV around 43O10; plus VP for exiting squads/HS. In other words, the Belgians object is simply to survive with 13 VP at game end.

Defender: Belgian (5ème Escadron/3ème Lanciers, DI Peloton Somville and DBT Group-Peloton Dirix-Peloton Caeymax, 7ème Escadron/ème Lanciers)

In SSR 2 replace overlays RR3 & RR4 with RR11 & RR12 (the 6-hex ElRR overlays). [Consider overlapping a hex of the two GLRR overlays (RR1 & RR2) which will keep all of overlay RR1 on board.]

2023-10-17	(A) Shane Pask	vs		Belgian win	There is a lot of open ground to cover for the Germans and I was mauled at the start by Peleton Dirix. On Turn 5 German victory looked possible but then the Belgians started repairing things and rolling low. A crucial CC in the station could have swayed it my way but it took too long. Still close with the Belgians only managing 14 points which included 5 tanks.
2021-11-22	(A) Doba Serge	vs	François B	Belgian win
2021-01-15	(A) Richard Jenulis	vs	Brent Morris	Belgian win	The first four turns were all German. It looked like the Germans would win before the Belgium armor entered. Then it all turned around and the Belgiums tore the Germans apart. It ended with an exciting turn 8 with the Belgiums holding on with 13 point! The Germans best shot was a 4 down 0 shot on a half-squad. A break would have won the game for the Germans. Damn you dice, damn you to hell!
