This was actually a HtH play against a human opponent but is being posted as solo since the ability to record shared plays is not functioning.

My opponent decided to defend forward along the north-south wood line in the middle of Board 33 with his dismounted cavalry in line. His HMG was protecting the north flank on the NW Bd 33 hill while is ATG and mortar were ensconced in the woods on the western hill near the road also on Bd 33.

I attack with the infantry battalion straight at the enemy line while my motorcycle, armored car and Pz I platoon zipped around the north flank to grab as many town hexes as they could. This plan worked as I was able to decisively engage the French, break their line and gain all the town objective.

The first French reinforcements came at the large town held by my recon elements. The French got shot up doing so and then my infantry engaged them. But the French held out in the assault for a number of turns and this concerned me as it was delaying my infantry from getting to the towns to defend them when the larger French reinforcements arrive. But those got delayed and the French cavalry finally succumbed. My infantry got into the large town on board 31 and it was apparent the French had no chance any more.

This is a tough one for the French but they might have a chance by delaying the Germans and then retaking towns for points later in the game.
