Scenario FaoF041

This small two mapper was played in one session against Alan. It has a mainly French INF force with a single tank platoon in support but with excellent OBDA. Facing them is a small force of MTC and a single HMG platoon. The Germans have better morale but have to cover a wide front, the French to win simply have to control more bridge and town hexes the the Boche. There are two main town on to the north of the river and one covering the central bridge, these in my view have to be contested by the Germans, which Alan did for a while but then withdrew from the Northerly town to try and contest several smaller hamlets, I felt then that the initiative had now passed to the French has without having to commit to any real fighting they could send the single tank unit far to the rear to capture town hexes while the INF units kept the pressure on the main German front. Alan's Luftwaffe failed to make much impression compared to the French OBDA who eliminated two steps and caused the MTC units to stay in cover most of the game. The quick speed of the MTC's did cause a few issues but French number prevailed in the end. **A nice thinking scenario with lost of movement and little bloodshed, I believe the the French advantages will normally give them the edge in this one, but I can sure there will be a few German wins down the line. Good scenario. **
