Scenario FaoF015

This is a nice little scenario with which to learn a lot about using armor and the limitations of not having tank leaders in all your units. The French set up a deep defense with hidden tanks on the north south road. the Germans enter to set up long shots with the Pz IIIs to set up cross fire for the Pz IVs. The Pz IIs immediately start looking for ways to get off the south end of the board as their gunnery won't help at all against 3 armor S35s.

The French have some initial success but the Germans gamble on initiative and getting it, use it to assault reduced French tanks twice to knock out enough French to have an easy drive through the remainder. The final score was 12-4 with both sides losing 4 steps.

This really is a great scenario for learning how armor and AT fire works. Otherwise there isn't much to see. I give it a "3" for the learning experience. By the way, given that the last three scenarios I have played have had decapitations it was nice to play one where a decapitation just couldn't happen...
