Overview:

As the drive through France continued, the crossing of the Seine River was a major objective to accomplish. Four squads of the Pionier detachment of the 93rd Motorized Infantry Regiment's II. Bataillon were ordered to take the bridge at Homyly. They were driven to and through the village under enemy fire, disembarking next to the woods leading to the bridge. They quickly moved through the woods and came upon the bridge where they spied four French soldiers standing guard at the beginning of the span. In a bold maneuver the 1st, 2nd and 3rd squads rushed the guard detachment, hoping to overwhelm them and grab control of the bridge before it was blown up underneath them. Successful, they occupied the bridge fortifications to await the French reinforcements that were sure to come. . .

2020-01-03(A) Jeff B vs Robert Loper French winIf the Germans don't make the foxholes by the end of their Turn 2 they will have an extremely difficult time. That's what happened to me. I got greedy Turn 1 trying to take out both HS when I should just have concentrated on the one on my side of the bridge. This guy needs to be taken out . As it was my Germans were hung out to dry on the bridge and brutally raped by overruns. By the end of Turn 2 I had lost half my force. By the end of Turn 3 I had my hero left. I wouldn't even call this a scenario; it's more like an ASL exercise.
2018-01-13(D) David Garvin vs Jim Stahler French winPoor Jim. I was able to FPF his initial rush at me and then my coupe de grace was a sniper attack that nailed his pinned stack by eliminating his 9-1 leader. His stack melted. My counter stroke absorbed his initial fire and then my Armored Cars overran his hapless infantry on the road. French win on GT 2.
Played at WO 2018.
2016-12-01(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Luca Marcolungo DrawOK it's little, it's cleaver, but it's too static for my taste, German player has to come up with a plan for taking the bridge, but that's not too difficult given the fact that most of the time the french will be broken during turn 1, after that it's static defence, and a dice feast which is always fun but not always nice.
