Scenario FaoF016

The scenario starts in the darkness of the early morning hours and moves to full daylight after a few turns, with the French defending Stonne and the hill hexes around it. The Germans moves to hit the French occupied area right away before they become visible. The German Infantry hits the French in force and flank the area with their tanks and anti-tank guns to try and block the expected French armor reinforcements.

The fighting on the hill goes on for many turns and the French reinforcement armor of two different groups both show up on turn 7. The Germans armor is too few in numbers to stop the flood of French armor, especially a stack of 3 B1-bis, which look unstoppable. In mean time, in the battle on the hill, the Germans take control of it and Stonne late in the game but the flood of French armor hits the hills as the Germans are now too weak and thin to stop them. So the French win, as the Germans do not control all the hill hexes anymore.

The Germans PzIVA, PzII and 37mm AT Guns are just too weak to stop all those French H39’s & B1-bis’s but have a strong enough Infantry force to knockout the French Infantry forces but not enough to do both.
