Overview:

The 1st Panzer Division was advancing southwest and had seized Montcornet. Generalleutnant Friedrich Kirchner though injured, insisted that his division must continue to advance. As part of this, German motorcycle reconnaissance troops and armored cars pushed into Chivres. Unfortunately for the lightly armed and equipped Germans, Colonel de Gaulle had launched a counterattack with his 4eme Division Cuirassee. Leading this attack was Capitaine Jean-Charles Idee's 345e Compagnie Autonome de Chars (D2 tanks) reinforced with a few Char B1-bis tanks and truck mounted infantry. The Char Bs led the attack down Grand Rue across the marsh that lined both sides of the road.
Attacker: French (Elements of 1re Compagnie, 4e Bataillon de Chasseurs Portes, 345e Compagnie Autonome de Chars, 4eme Division Cuirassee)
Defender: German (Zug1 and other elements of Aufklarungs-Abteilung 4, Panzer Division 1)

2018-05-03(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall German winWe switched sides and, in the process, switched strategies for the German defense. Where Magnus was more focused on clogging up the road, I was concerned more with spreading my men out to make it difficult to account for them all and thus delay his cleanup on the south side of the causeway. I kept a couple half squads adjacent to the road to lay some annoying residual, while my AC set his sights on the causeway entrance to place some more significant residual. Things didn't bode well for me when my first half squad cowered and thus left no residual, but after that it was nothing but marksmanship for the Germans and bad luck for the French. The opening Turn saw two French trucks wrecked (with all contents killed), two squads broken, and their sole leader busted as well. We played out the German side of the turn but there was virtually no hope for the French so we called it.
