The Germans started by sending the bulk of their troops west to engage the French units on the north bank, and also a small detachment over the river to the east.

After a multi-turn assault combat that seemed to suck in units around it like a vortex, the French units on the north bank were defeated by the end of the second hour. By that time the German detachment had worked its way behind the defenders in Etalle & it came down to whether they could hang on to enough town hexes by the end of the scenario. Unfortunately it was not to be and the Germans won a major victory approx. 14 VP to 3.

This was my first time playing a full scenario of PG & got a bunch of rules wrong, which may have skewed the result. The scenario was full of incident and memorable moments and is certainly one I'd like to play again to see if the French could do better next time.
