Scenario FaoF002

Playing solo requires a little self discipline to allow the French the hidden placement that they really need due to how few forces they have. I decided that the Germans would attack in three groups, riding the trucks until 3-4 hexes out from a forest or town. The French would hold their fire until they could get a point blank opportunity fire, figuring that would give them the best chance.

The French were in the north western town, the town hex at 0605 and the heavy woods at 0511. The Germans cautiously cleared the southern towns and were engaged by the units in 0605 as they cleared the swamp. 0605 held out through most of the scenario thanks to some demoralizing opportunity fire that the Germans were not able to shake off. They fell as the southern German units moved north and reinforced the northern assaults. The units in the woods succeed in tying up valuable resources for several turns.

With the help of the StuGIIIA joining the assault the French were overwhelmed and lost the scanrio, but not until two turns until the end.
