Scenario FaoF007

This is the standout scenario from the Fall of France pack. 7 boards in file, 2 river crossings and loads of counters. The French forces are retreating to the far bank of the Meuse through the woods and hills of the Ardennes closely followed by the 7th Panzer division led by Rommel ( who in our game had a Geordie accent). The game does give the feel of commanding and manoeuvring large forces and there are lots of command decisions to make each turn. Even though I suspect it would take a lucky French commander to win this one I think playing the French was great fun. In the end the German tanks managed to trap enough French forces and destroy them, even though the Germans failed to cross the Meuse, for a minor win.

Best large scenario I have played. Highly recommended and with VASSAL space is no longer an issue
