Overview:

On 5 January 1941, following the report of a French attack on the Thai border town of Aranyaprathet, the Thai Burapha and Isan Armies launched an offensive on Laos and Cambodia. French response was instantaneous, but many units were simply swept along by the better-equipped Thai forces. The Thai army swiftly overran Laos, but the French forces in Cambodia managed to rally and offer more resistance. At dawn on 16 January 1941 the French launched a large counterattack on the Thai-held villages of Yang Dang Khum and Phum Preav, initiating the fiercest battle of the war. Due to poor co-ordination and non-existent intelligence against the entrenched and prepared Thai forces, the French operation was stopped and fighting ended with a French retreat from the area.

2016-01-16(A) Vic Lauterbach vs ML French winFun scenario with lots of options for both sides. Firepower of elite French eventually prevailed (33 CVP + 13 VP locations to 22 CVP). Not enough Siamese SMC to rally broken squads spread across both boards. Vickers tank lost along with three French tanks and one AA truck. Siamese FB broke two squads and CR one, but was not a major factor.
2015-11-23(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Holst French win3 Turns completed thus far. The French are coming on strong. Siamese airpower will arrive in the next French D-Fire. Should be interesting. Boxcars on the Airplane MMG forced recall and the French prevailed after amassing over 24 victory points.
2014-06-27(D) Andy Beaton vs Eoin Corrigan French winLosing streak continues - I seem to have lost my mojo. Siamese air force managed one pin result through the game, so it's not all skill but I never really felt I was in control at any point. Cool small power scenario though.
2011-10-13(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker Siamese win
