An interesting and quick little scenario. This has asymmetric force in that the Germans are understrength but highly mobile while the French have the numbers but are somewhat ponderous with their slow HMGs, yet they have mobility in one platoon of S35 tanks.

The Germans chose to delay north of the river with the intent of falling back onto the bridges while defending the main town south of the river. This worked somewhat in the east where the Germans held up the French almost all game in the large town north of the river. But one motorcycle platoon got trapped north of the river in one of the small towns without a leader and thus sat the game defending the town. The Germans managed to fall back on the eastern bridges and dig in. In the center, the German line broke and the Somuas broke through and got to the rail line. All the French needed was to get the last bridge but one half-strength German platoon held out against repeated assault by the anemic French infantry. They would have been better off pulling back and just pounding with artillery. Nevertheless, the French scored a minor victory.
