German (SS)Free French
Overview:
On November 20th, the German XIX Army launched a counterattack intended to push the Free French back from the city of Belfort and cut off the Free French forces in the Belfort gap and at the Rhine River. For the counterattack, the German commanders scraped together a force that included SS-Grenadier Division 30 -- a unit made up largely of conscripted Russians. Initially, the 30th SS was to be used for holding ground taken by the leading units. However, the pace of the lead units was so slow that the 30th SS was ordered to attack the town of Seppois, which sat astride the major French supply route, N-463.Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Grenadier-Division 30 (2nd Russian) and schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 654)
Defender: Free French (9e Division d'Infanterie Coloniale and Combat Command 2, 1er Division Blindée)

| 2026-04-24 | (A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala | vs | DC | Free French win | The French set up their vehicles forward, leading to a lot of early tank action: by the end of Turn 3, all French vehicles and one of the JgdPz had been destroyed, all north of hexrow W. The remaining German tank wanted to avoid the central road and open ground, fearing that the French gun would be hidden in the flanking woods (of course, it was). This led the German to venture on the 1-hex-wide woods in V1, where it bogged and was defeated in CC when trying to get out by a cunning French squad and 9-1 leader. Eventually, the infantry couldn't make it to the village due to the diligent guarding of two Elite squads and two MMGs. | ||
| 2026-03-15 | (D) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala | vs | DC | Free French win | The Germans held their tank destroyers on Turn 1, hoping that their infantry would stumble upon the French AT gun. This was not successful, but the AT gun eventually only got the one "surprise" shot out of HIP, blazing a German JgdPz, before being neutralized. The Shermans maneuvered at will and kept the German infantry in check, although more than enough FP was barely one hex away from having LOS to the supply road by the German final turn. Eventually, one Sherman blazed the second JgdPz and another landed a mortal blow on a strong stack, making the German win impossible. Very interesting scenario, where the German tank destroyers are encouraged to not use their HE, and the French has a lot of area to cover. | ||

| 2022-03-20 | (A) Mark Thompson | vs | Free French (Steve B) | Free French win (VASL Log) | Free French victory. German attack contemplated placing one JgdPz V and 9-1/5-4-8/MMG in R1 building (bringing 21FP to bear on K5 road hex) with remaining units in blocking positions thereby forcing the Free French to switch to attack. Very effective Free French layered defense and devastating 11 on bog removal DR of JgdPz V moving through V1 woods thoroughly stymied this plan, and Germans conceded after losing the second JgdPz V to a BAZ 44 side shot. An interesting scenario that presents some unique challenges to the Germans (HE7 depletion and no MA smoke for JgdPz V, HIP'd 57L AT and BAZ 44s with good side shot TK#s, many side-shot ambush locations) and Free French (placement of HIP'd 57L AT, deployment of BAZ 44s, role of M4s / avoiding JgdPz V 88LL). |
