Balance:
German (SS)French
Overview:
With the almost near collapse of the French Army, it fell to individual units and their commanders to either fight or run. On one particular situation, French Senegalese units led by their officers fought a vicious rear guard action against elements of 3. SS-Aufklarung-Abteilung, 3. SS-Division “Totenkopf” at the little village of L'Arbresle. This action proved to be the sharpest fighting the SS had encountered since the end of the campaign in Flanders. And once again, the “Totenkopf” was up against a determined defender which consisted of Tirailleurs Senegalais supported by antitank guns and mortars. It would be another day of rooting out determined yet doomed French soldiers for the SS.Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Aufklarung-Abteilung, 3. SS-Division “Totenkopf”)
Defender: French (25ème Régiment de Tirailleurs Sénégalais)

| 2018-05-29 | (A) Lee Hyde | vs | Todd Rezack | German (SS) win | Tough call for the SS, and after 2 SS Ldrs being broken in the French first volley, a near impossible task. Fortunately other sectors worked well, with the French failing MC's at most awkward moments, often then lost due to FTR. Grabbed the final Buildings in the last SS turn, with only 2 French Squads remaining | ||
| 2017-07-15 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | French win | Armored Cars went down fast and close combats with the Senegalese drained my manpower critically. Great game as the French held off my Germans. | ||

| 2016-08-23 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Dave Mareske | French win | Got chewed up - good defense and got diced. Don't see how the Germans can get behind the Frenchies to win this. |
