Overview:

During Operation Diadem, the 1st “Free French” Division was given the task to shield the right flank of the French Mountain Corps which was to lead the main attack into the difficult Aurunci Mountains. On 17th May, the French were progressing quickly along the Liri River valley thanks to the retreat of the German troops after the breakthrough around Monte Petrella. Around noon, the leading elements of the BM11 (March Battalion 11), abandoned by the accompanying tanks that were stopped sooner by mines, were stopped by MG fire coming from fortified houses on both sides of the road.

2020-03-29(A) Andrea Noia vs Andrea M German winWon by German by CVP, not victory point. Free french tried to push on the bottom left side of the map but lost an essential squad due to a reckless move. From that moment on, tried to organize a defence focused on the sunken road and on the main VP house on the top of the map. German successfully flanked the French but was able to win only at the last turn by CC. Very complex LOS considerations, very useful scenario to learn them.
2020-03-21(A) Pascal Boileau vs Guillaume Mailhan Free French winMy first PBEM game under the supervision of Guillaume (many thanks to him). German troops were kept away from victory Hexes during enough time. This strategy was costly for the Free French and while they lost many units, the CVP cap was not attained at the end of turn 5.
2019-11-16(A) Marco Pasquini vs Manzoli Andrea Free French winRe Factories 2019 in Reggio Emilia Italy
2019-10-19(D) Richard Jenulis vs Doug Cooley German winWild West Fest (round 2). Fun scenario that provides both side the opportunity to attack and defend while using the entire board to maneuver. Doug's Free French pushed hard against building J3 (which was my fortified building). The building eventually fell, but held out long enough and attrited the French so much, that they could not advance past the gully. My German reinforcements flanked south and hit the sunken road French from behind taking the W6 & V1 VC sites. Squeezed from all sides, and reduced in force, the French surrendered. Good scenario and opponent.
