Overview:

"Never Give In" -- The 14eme Division d’Infanterie deployed to the south of the Aisne, and established a defensive line there, while maintaining a small bridgehead on the north side of the river at Rethel, with a view to eventually mounting a counterattack. General de Lattre didn’t hesitate in requisitioning anything he could get his hands on to bolster his positions, even putting retreating units into the line. In this way, three B1-bis tanks on their way to the 8th Tank Battalion were quite simply requisitioned. They would play a vital role in the defense of Rethel next to the troops of the 152eme Regiment d’Infanterie.

2025-06-11(A) Doba Serge vs Eric B. German win
2023-11-01(D) Pascal Boileau vs Julien Denis German winA nice scenario for a tense game. In the first part of the last turn, the French should win. However, it's ASL and in the second part of the last turn, the French lose the game (with some help from the dice..). Thanks to Julien for his fair play !
2023-06-08(A) Peter Palmer vs Neal Ekengren French winWARR 1940 2nd game completed.
2022-10-18(A) Owen Edwards vs German winVery tight but basically determined by two things: the French relying on their last two turns to actually cross the river, and an absolutely incredibl run of poor MC/PTCs in that period - 6 squads, 1 HS, and 1 leader faced at worse 1MC (avg morale of those = 8), and 5 squads and the HS broke and the remaining squad pinned. The B1s, however, were a terror, despite some rapid German manoeuvre from the PzIII to get decent shots in - the 6 or 7 German hits from 5 AFVs and 1 AT gun all pinged off, whilst the B1s took out both German tanks and a PSW222. Good fun, if exasperating at the end - you have to laugh!
