Overview:
In the early hours of May 13, Rommel pushed units of his Panzer-Division 7 across the Meuse River in the vicinity of Dinant, where they clung to a shaky foothold. While infantry were able to cross on boats, Rommel's tanks would have to cross on a ferry until a bridge could be built. That evening, under cover of darkness, Schutzen-Regiment 7 succeeded in reaching Onhaye where it overran several French positions. The next morning Rommel received a wireless transmission which proclaimed Schutzen-Regiment 7 was "encircled". Rommel, fearing for the safety of his tenuous foothold, ordered Panzer-Regiment 25 to take every available tank and race to their aid.Attacker: German (Schützen-Regiment 7, Panzer-Division 7, and Panzer-Regiment 25)
Defender: French (4ème Division d'Infanterie Nord-Africaine and 1ère Division Légère de Cavalerie)

| 2025-05-25 | (D) Andy Goldin | vs | John Gorkowski | German win | 4 hrs | I had difficulty putting together a good defense due to sub-optimal lines of sight for the defending French. Turns out I over-weighted the defense of the lone stone building on Board 42, which meant I didn't have enough AT defense to keep John's Germans at bay. I chose the Mine and ATR option and converted all my mines to AT. While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it would have worked better had I placed the mines somewhere John actually went (Board 59) vs Board 42. Once he got close, John sleeze-freezed my key defensive positions (such as my 10-2/MMG stack) to allow his infantry to close mostly unmolested. I did have some good results with my tankettes which gave his infantry a hard time but it was not enough. I got at least a few good hits with my ATR (including a CH) but couldn't score a single kill due to the low odds and above-average dice roll results. On Board 59 I had initially managed to trade ground for time, withdrawing in good order, but once John fully committed his Panzers I lost my freedom to maneuver and got ground up by his combined arms assaults. By the beginning of Turn 5 I had lost nearly all of my defenders on Board 59 and, having little other than some concealment markers and an 8-1 with a malf'd LMG, conceded. Next time I'll try the option to buy the second ATG to see how that works. | |

| 2023-11-12 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | French win | I managed to burn 2 of the French AFVs but nothing else went my way. I lost 2 cc to smaller defenders and when the 10-2 battle hardened to a 10-3, I conceded. All over by the end of French turn 4 with 0 buildings and 12 CVP against me (all infantry losses). |
