A highly mobile French force must attack through an urban morass to try to capture two bridges held by the Germans. Each side is roughly equivalent in size (a reinforced battalion) but the Germans have much more firepower and, critical to urban warfare, two ENG platoons. The French have lower morale and have very little transport for their HMGs.

Having decided to be aggressive with the French I immediately made a crucial error. I divided their force. Do not do this. They aren't as strong as the Germans and they are tasked with the offense in this scenario (the initial setup gets the Germans a minor victory). Even making this ridiculous rookie mistake I came within one hex of getting to one of the bridges. Imagine if I had been smart instead of full of elan.

I dickered with the rating on this one but ended up with a "3". I can't really rate it low because I didn't play it well. Even played well this will be tough for the French but it is a blast to see a French force with a much greater degree of mobility than the Germans.
