Overview:

The 1st Panzer Division was advancing southwest and had seized Montcornet. Generalleutnant Friedrich Kirchner though injured, insisted that his division must continue to advance. As part of this, German motorcycle reconnaissance troops and armored cars pushed into Chivres. Unfortunately for the lightly armed and equipped Germans, Colonel de Gaulle had launched a counterattack with his 4eme Division Cuirassee. Leading this attack was Capitaine Jean-Charles Idee's 345e Compagnie Autonome de Chars (D2 tanks) reinforced with a few Char B1-bis tanks and truck mounted infantry. The Char Bs led the attack down Grand Rue across the marsh that lined both sides of the road.
Attacker: French (Elements of 1re Compagnie, 4e Bataillon de Chasseurs Portes, 345e Compagnie Autonome de Chars, 4eme Division Cuirassee)

2024-06-06(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2024-06-06(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winThis scenario is very tough for the French and the ROAR STATS bear that out. Germans lost both Armored Cars and did nothing with them. The Germans on the southside were reduced to a single half-squad that survived the entire game and took a French half-squad in the final CC. The German MMG was on the hill and broke up the French moving across the causeway. The French tanks all got across when I rolled a 10 on the DC which was set on the bridge. Dice sucketh majorly. The French tanks didn't have enough movement to overrun the German 4-6-8 on the hill with the MMG. They did get a 75 hit in Advancing fire with a K3 result. But the half-squad passed the MC and that was game. A very improbable German win. And again, very tough on the French, when the Germans are able to win with just a single half-squad. It is a fun scenario though and I would recommend playing it if the opportunity arises.
