Despite getting some licks in early, this one was pretty tough for the French. Two factors, midgame, contributed mightily to the eventual outcome; the complete destruction of every French unit. 1) The Germans rarely failed a river crossing roll, so their progress was swift to say the least. The only units that were held up more than a turn were the trucks bearing AT guns and, even then, he got his first truck across in the first attempt. You cannot do anything about the dice. 2) As the French player, I did not close up on his newly-crossed units early enough. I should have been raining hellfire down on the lone infantry units to exit each river crossing, each turn. Due to the darkness I had to get adjacent to the German units and I resisted doing that for far too long.

Still, a good scenario with lots of units that remained close until the 2/3 mark.
