Played over two sessions using Skype v Alan Sawyer. This scenario depicts a strong German force with good morale,good leaders and good OBDA against a ragtag group of French units ranging from ESC (good morale) DRG & A/Cars (good mobility) to RES (poor morale, poor firepower). The Germans have to take town hexes and inflict step losses on the French to win, the can enter from two board edges and this forces the French to have a somewhat dispersed set up. I took the French force and had decided to give up the northern town but try and hold south of the river, I was very concerned with a flank attack from the west using woods as cover so that was where my main line of resistance was placed. Alan however went for a massive frontal attack from the North and I had to quickly adjust my defense, he quickly however overran the my screening forces to the North and was over the river faster than a rat down a drain pipe. Alan had inflicted a lot more casualties on my defending troops than I on his and had captured almost half of the town hexes on the board before we had completed half the scenario. However things then got tougher for the Boche as the French used their A/Cars and motorcycle troops to move swiftly around the board in an attempt to plug gaps and inflict losses on the invading Germans. This worked to some extent and a German probe to the southwest was thrown back but on the eastern flank the situation was dire as the Germans poured over the rive pushing the French back and taking another town hex though the A/Cars launched a counter attack which left the town still contested at game end. Knowing that I was behind in VPs I launched as last ditch attempt to snatch some VPs on the last turn with French infantry wading across the river under heavy fire to assault northern town. This caused Alan a few jitters but was too little too late, by the end of the game he had won a solid minor victory. *This was a reasonable scenario played as always with Alan in a good spirit I think it is a tough one for the French, I was always behind the drag curve in our battle any French commander getting even a draw should be well pleased with himself. *
