Scenario FaoF010

An interesting scenario as all French units start the game disrupted. I set the French pretty evenly along the entire playable river line except along the double river area.

Seeing this, the Germans decided to place a fire base to oppose the main defensive line, but concentrate the river crossing in the twin river area. The French had a decent draw of casemates including several AT types. They quickly disposed of the German Bufla. The Germans proceeded to cross the river at the east. The two firebases basically traded ineffective fire for most of the scenario.

The German rolled very poorly in their river crossing attempts, and the French were unable to take much advantage of the Germans in the river. Slowly, plattons started to cross, and eventually a melee ensued with the French eventually losing the town. However, this is a short scenario, and about the time the Germans were crossing in force, time ran out.

The game ended with the French having two more steps than the Germans south of the river, so the game ended in a draw.
