Overview:

After fighting its way through the Ardennes, Panzer-Division 7 found itself on the banks of the Meuse. The towering cliffs provided a majestic and frightening back drop for the job of crossing the river. The questions on every trooper's mind were: Where are the French? How determined would the resistance be to the crossing? The Germans didn't know that the 66th Infantry Regiment had just beaten them to the Meuse, and Panzer-Division 7 quickly threw itself against the west bank.
Attacker: German (2 and 3 Kompanien, Schutzen-Regiment 7, Schutzen-Brigade7, Panzer-Division 7)
Defender: French (1er Bataillon, 66ème Régiment d'Infanterie, 18ème Division d'Infanterie with 1ère Division Légère de Cavalerie)

2025-02-14(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval French winToo much time & effort needed just to get units across the river. Mental slog, not much action.
2023-07-05(A) Todd Cox vs German winVery long scenario, lots of extra rules that modify the existing boat rules. I misplayed the transport of the German tanks badly and two never entered the battle.
Overall enjoyable, but it is long certainly. French nearly held the Germans at bay, with the Germans only getting the 3rd of the possible 5 (3 required) objectives in the second to last turn.
2022-01-16(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Rodgers French winLong scenario.
