Introduction
|
|
Feeling the full weight of Case Red, the German attack to subdue what was left of France, the 7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders battalion headquarters fought its own private battle in Franleu. Already bypassed by the German columns and supported by some infantry, the HQ managed to hold the position in the morning. After this, the situation became worse: all communications were cut, and all hope of controlling the battle from battalion headquarters was lost. In the early afternoon plans were made for a counter-attack to be delivered by a battalion of the Black Watch, assisted by tanks.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
The 4th Black Watch went forward for the attack, but immediately found the railway line firmly held by the Germans. One company supported by French tanks tried but failed to gain control of the village of Saucourt. When it became obvious that such a small force could not expect any success, the attack was called off. In Franleu the situation at battalion headquarters became hopeless. By 1600 only two officers remained unwounded, ammunition was practically exhausted and all the reserve ammunition was blown up.

Display Relevant AFV Rules
| AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle |
- Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
- AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8).
They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank
leader in order to carry out combat movement.
- AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
- Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn
(either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more
(11.2).
- Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its
printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
- Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire
(7.44, 7.64).
Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire,
but not both (7.22, 13.0).
Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
- Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
- Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
- AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
- AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
- Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
- Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
- Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

Two British infantry have their full strengths printed on the back. They should both be "2-3" when reduced.

Ignore the direct fire values.

The reduced direct fire value of the Heer HMG became 5-5 starting with Fall of France.

The morale and combat modifiers of German Sergeant #1614 should be "0", not "8".
