Scenario FaoF049

French set up in the two towns having the 75mm artillery piece and the mortar as their hidden units. Germans divided their forces with a small group advancing north from the west side of the board toward the small town while the bulk of their forces moved north from the middle of the board toward the large town. As the tanks approached the large town the French 75 revealed itself and eliminated a PzII. The Germans then retaliated with OBA and demoralized the artillery unit. As the game progressed the Germans suffered from a few turns ending early due to FOW which meant they didn't have time to move their western force toward the small town. The Germans eventually did approach both towns but didn't suffer casualties in either case as the guarding French units had been disrupted by artillery and mortar fire. The Germans began assaulting in the large town and gained some measure of success, but the French held on till the last turn. In the west the FOW rolls and some hesitation on the par tof the Germans waiting for the French defenders to be disrupted before advancing meant their attack didn't start until late. At the end of the game both hexes in the small town still had assaults going on, giving the French a narrow victory. All in all a fun, close scenario that may work best as a solitaire game because the French player doesn't appear to have much to do apart from recovering units and providing defensive fire.
