Scenario FaoF023

This looked like an interesting matchup, so went ahead and played this scenario. At first I thought it would be difficult for the French to take the two town hexes of Stonne, with German units in it and around it, on a 40 meter hill to boot, not to mention the German Infantry units are stronger then the French but the French approached in the dark the first couple of turns, they have a more then two to one advantage in Infantry, a nice dose of off-board artillery and those huge B1bis tanks.

The Germans did bring on some armor reinforcements of their own, which arrived on turn #4 but they had no effect on the B1bis tank units and could not get any penetrating shots just like the historical outcome. The German PzIVD unit has the best chance, but a H39 tank unit rolled a 12 and gave it a step loss with a demoralizing effect and three B1bis stacked together adjacent to German Infantry with a 33 direct fire value, can hurt Infantry whether they are in towns or dug-in or not.

In the end, the French controlled the town hexes of Stonne and all the 40-meter hill hexes for the victory.
